Sturelehub Zinc Oxide Powder 16 oz — 100% Pure Non‑Nano Uncoated Cosmetic Grade for DIY Sunscreen

Sturelehub Zinc Oxide Powder (16 oz) is a cosmetic-grade, 100% pure, non-nano and uncoated zinc oxide ideal for DIY sunscreens and a wide range of skincare formulations.

This finely milled zinc oxide comes in a 16-ounce supply made for formulators, crafters, and small-batch producers who need a high-purity mineral ingredient. Offered in an uncoated, non-nano particulate form, it preserves the mineral’s natural properties so you can control texture, opacity, and concentration in lotions, creams, powders, and bars. Because it’s cosmetic-grade, it’s suited for topical products rather than industrial uses, and it’s particularly common in homemade mineral sunscreens, body powders, deodorants, and makeup.

How should I use this zinc oxide powder in a homemade sunscreen?

Add Sturelehub zinc oxide to your oil, cream, or lotion base while mixing under consistent shear to disperse the particles evenly. Typical sunscreen formulations call for 15–25% zinc oxide by weight to achieve broad mineral coverage; start low and test texture and opacity as you increase concentration.

• Recommended concentration: 15%–25% for sunscreens.
• Disperse in oils or emulsifiers before final blending to avoid clumping.
• Use high-shear mixing or a mini-mill for creamier, even dispersion.
• Patch test final product for skin compatibility before wide use.

What makes non-nano and uncoated zinc oxide different for skincare?

Non-nano zinc oxide has particle sizes larger than the nanoscale, which helps prevent penetration into the skin and keeps the mineral working on the surface. The uncoated form means there’s no added surface treatment that could alter color, dispersibility, or interaction with other ingredients.

• Non-nano: particles remain on the skin surface for physical coverage.
• Uncoated: preserves original mineral chemistry and color.
• Better suited for transparent control over formulation appearance.
• Preferred when formulating products that emphasize natural ingredients.

Which other cosmetics and personal-care products can I make with this powder?

Sturelehub zinc oxide is versatile across many topical products beyond sunscreen. It can be incorporated into deodorants, foundations, creams, soaps, and lip balms—each application uses different concentrations and dispersion techniques to reach the intended texture and coverage.

• Foundations and powders: adjust concentration for coverage versus whiteness.
• Deodorants and body powders: small percentages add absorbency and opacity.
• Soaps and lotions: add during cool-down or pre-dispersed to avoid streaking.
• Lip and balm products: use minimal amounts and ensure fine dispersion.

How do I measure, store, and get best results from this zinc oxide powder?

Accurate weighing and proper storage preserve quality. Use a digital scale for precise dosing, mix thoroughly for even performance, and store the powder in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture to maintain stability and flow.

• Weigh on a calibrated scale for exact formulation percentages.
• Keep sealed in airtight container to prevent moisture absorption.
• Avoid inhaling dust; use a mask when handling powdered minerals.
• Label batches with date and concentration for quality control.

Who is this product for: Sturelehub Zinc Oxide Powder (16 oz) is aimed at formulators, small-batch skincare makers, indie beauty brands, and hobbyists who demand a high-purity, non-nano, uncoated mineral for topical products. If you create homemade sunscreens, mineral makeup, or bar soaps and need reliable control over opacity and texture, this cosmetic-grade zinc oxide gives you a neutral, stable ingredient to build from. It is not intended for internal use or industrial non-cosmetic applications.
