Abstract | ||||
Zinc oxide is an inorganic compound with the formula ZnO. It is a white powder which is insoluble in water. ZnO is used as an additive in various substances and products such as cosmetics, food sup- plements, rubbers, plastics, ceramics, glass, cement, lubricants, paints, sunscreens, ointments, adhe- sives, sealants, pigments, foods, batteries, ferrites, fireplace retardants, semiconductors, it, and first- aid tapes. Although it takes place naturally as the mineral zincite, most zinc oxide is produced syn- thetically. Zinc oxide is used for its many homes and applications, as a UV filter in sunscreen (in the shape of nano zinc oxide), as an agent to soothe pores and skin and ease irritation, and as a white pigment in some make-up merchandise such as foundation. Zinc oxide is accused of inflicting un- desirable results when utilized on broken skin, and of impacting the aquatic environment. Extensive reviews have been performed on the security of zinc oxide used in cosmetics and as a sunscreen. They exhibit that zinc oxide can be safely used in cosmetics. | ||||
