The powder is not soluble in water which is an added benefit when acting as a sunscreen and in mineral makeup. Zinc oxide is also used in cream and ointment formulations, particularly for babies, to soothe irritated skin.

Important Notes/Warnings:

• Non-nano zinc oxide is recommended, as it sits on the skin and provides physical sun protection. My Natural Beauty's Zinc oxide is Non-Nano.

• The SPF of homemade sunscreens is difficult to measure and may be lower than expected.

Homemade sunscreens can be a fun DIY project, however they should not be relied upon for serious sun protection, especially during prolonged sun exposure or for vulnerable skin types. For best results and safety, use a commercial sunscreen that has been properly tested and rated for SPF or have your DIY product tested for SPF by a professional. When adding zinc oxide powder to any homemade product, it is, of course, always advisable to consult a professional to ensure that it complies with your skincare and sun protection needs.

For reliable sun protection, consider using a tested commercial sunscreen.
