Cosmetic Grade Zinc Oxide Powder
ZinClear XP is a “Pharmaceutical/Cosmetic Grade Zinc Oxide Powder” which is categorised as a “Derived Mineral” in the scope of ISO Regulation No.1628-1:2016, and ISO Regulation No.1628-2:2017. ZinClear XP also meets the definition of ‘Natural’, based on Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA).
ZinClear XP is used as a physical mineral UV filter, and it can be incorporated into both Primary, and Secondary Sunscreens to achieve a target SPF. Pharmaceutical grade ZinClear XP can also be used as an active ingredient in pharmaceutical preparations.
Special Characteristics
ZinClear XP is supplied in the form of an uncoated white powder. When put in formulation, the product remains highly transparent, even at high loadings.
Broad Spectrum Sun Protection
Zinc oxide’s absorbance profile intrinsically spans both UVA and UVB. ZinClear XP has been specifically designed to enhance the UVA protection performance of the zinc oxide. This enables ZinClear XP to be used on its own or in combination with other filters to meet the UVAPF>1/3 SPF requirement and exceed the 370nm critical wavelength
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 XP 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.

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.
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
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.

Certificates of Zinc Clear XP
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.
