Non-comedogenic
Hypoallergenic
Is a 65 wt% dispersion of uncoated zinc oxide in coco-caprylate/ caprate. For use in a variety of suncare, skincare and cosmetic applications. It is also NPA and COSMOS certified.
This dispersion can be incorporated as the main UV filter into primary sunscreens to achieve high target SPF alternatively, it can also be used in other SPF related products including lip balms, moisturisers, antiaging, dry oils and cleansing products.
It is most commonly used as a skin protectant, helping to reduce the harmful effects of external factors on the skin as both a UV absorber and UV filter. It can also be found in cosmetics and baby lotions including foundation and concealers. It is certified organic.
Special Characteristics
ZinClear XP65COCO dispersions are supplied in the form of a viscous, free flowing liquid. The dispersion is off-white to peachy beige in colour but when applied to the skin will remain highly transparent, even at high loadings.
Broad Spectrum Sun Protection
ZinClear XP65COCO has a broad absorption profile spanning both UVA and UVB providing the sunscreens that will meet the UVAPF>1/3 SPF criterion where required. ZinClear XP65COCO can also be formulated for the critical wavelength to reach 370 nm where required. ZinClear XP65COCO is photostable in formulations and is not prone to degrade or lose effectiveness under influence of UV.
Non Nano Powder
The zinc oxide particles in ZinClear XP consist of primary particles a few to several tens of nanometres in size, which form aggregates up to a few tens of micrometres.
The zinc oxide particles in ZinClear XP have a unique porous structure. The image below illustrates that the zinc oxide is present in the form of porous particles having sizes mostly in the micrometer range.
Shelf Life
ZinClear®XP65 COCO has a shelf life of 24 months when stores under standard conditions (above 5°C and below 30°C). Re-testing after 2 years is required to extend the shelf life to 3 years from the manufacturing date.
ORGANIC, No WHITE CAST
Allowing the formulation of elegant skincare products that do not cause a ‘white cast’.

Zinc oxide safety
A new study led by two Australian universities has found evidence that zinc oxide nanoparticles used in sunscreen does not cause cellular toxicity even after repeated applications. After applications over five days, the levels of the tracer zinc in the blood were only one thousandth of what is the naturally occurring total zinc levels in the blood.
UVA/UVB/UVC & Blue Light Broad Spectrum
UVA rays account for 95% of our sun exposure. They cause skin aging and contribute to skin cancer. The risk for skin cancer doubles in people who have had five or more sunburns. UVA rays penetrate deeply into the skin layers, damaging collagen and cells which leads to wrinkling, hyperpigmentation and loss of elasticity.
Zinc Anti-Bacterial & Wound Healing
Zinc has been used during the regime of Pharaohs, and historical records show that zinc oxide was used in many ointments for the treatment of injuries and oils even in 200BC.
Hypoallergenic
In a study in which a 25% zinc oxide patch (2.9mg/cm2) was placed on human skin for 48 hours, there was no evidence of dermal irritation

Certificates of ZinClear®-XP65 COCO
Advance ZincTek was formed in 1997 to commercialise an advanced materials technology originally developed by the University of Western Australia. The technology was first scaled-up via a joint venture with Samsung Corning Co. Ltd, of Korea (2000 to 2004), and then as a stand-alone operation.
