You choose your purpose. - I discovered that Zinc Oxide reduces inflammation when applied topically on skin. It is used in many medicinal skin creams. It's used in head and shoulders, cream for babies butts, sunblock in the 1970s, etc. My son was prescribed sunblock with heavy zinc content to help reduce acne inflammation. It seemed to help a lot. The product he was prescribed was very expensive. It seemed like getting the active ingredient and applying it directly to the skin with a cosmetic makeup brush or thinned with lots of water would likely be equally effective. I ordered this to experiment with using it directly with a cosmetic makeup brush to apply it quicker and more evenly and cheaper. I tried it on myself and it is very easy to apply and not visible to the naked eye. I'm sure if you used a lot of it you might be able to see the white dust. Now I'm on a roll with adding this powder to all my favorite products. As I mentioned, it's an active ingredient in head and shoulders shampoo. The problem with this head and shoulders shampoo is that it removes my hair straightening product when I use it. Every summer I have shiny straight hair. When winter comes and I get seasonal flaky scalp, I use Head and Shoulders and it washes all my straightening product out of my hair giving me curly hair. I added the zinc oxide to my sulfate free shampoo that I use during the summer time and I'm hoping it will control the flakes as well as head and shoulders. We just got back from a trip to Hawaii and I was bitten by many insects. I mixed some zinc oxide with water made a paste and applied it to my bug bites. It helped relieve the itch and reduce the redness. It wasn't complete magic but it definitely cut the itching down about 75 to 80%. I also can barely see redness this morning after applying it last night. Anyway, choose your purpose and enjoy this simple inexpensive way to add zinc oxide to your products. I prefer it for topical use only. Review: Safe and Effective Sun Protection! - In my quest to create a natural sunscreen, Non-Nano Zinc Oxide was an indispensable ingredient. It has delivered outstanding sun protection without the use of harmful nano particles - a win for my skin health! Here’s the simple recipe I followed: • 1 oz Grass-fed Tallow • 1 oz Coconut Oil • 1.5 oz Avocado Oil • 1/2 oz Beeswax • 1/2 oz Shea Butter • 2 tbsp Non-nano Zinc Oxide • 1/2 tbsp Cacao Combine all these ingredients in a double boiler and melt until they are well combined. Then pour the mixture into a glass container and let it cool. The Non-Nano Zinc Oxide played a crucial role in this recipe. It provided a strong shield against the sun’s harmful rays, proving to be an effective and safe alternative to the chemicals often used in commercial sunscreens. The fact that it is non-nano assures me that my skin isn’t absorbing tiny particles that could pose health risks. In summary, this Non-Nano Zinc Oxide has rightfully earned its 5-star rating. Its superior performance in my DIY sunscreen demonstrates its quality and effectiveness. If you’re seeking to create a healthier, more natural sunscreen, I highly recommend incorporating this Non-Nano Zinc Oxide into your recipe. It’s a game changer for sun protection! ## Features - Pure Original Ingredients Zinc Oxide is non-nano & uncoated - Use topically for various applications - Add to creams, lotions & ointments - Always pure ingredients with no additives - Packaged in Utah, USA ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #21,766 in Health & Household ( See Top 100 in Health & Household ) #79 in Zinc Mineral Supplements | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 3,010 Reviews | ## Images ![Zinc Oxide, Eco-Friendly Packaging, Non-Nano (1.5 Pound) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71KLtr8RCTL.jpg) ![Zinc Oxide, Eco-Friendly Packaging, Non-Nano (1.5 Pound) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71qWTSvWZcL.jpg) ![Zinc Oxide, Eco-Friendly Packaging, Non-Nano (1.5 Pound) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61-Dh4Yf4vL.jpg) ![Zinc Oxide, Eco-Friendly Packaging, Non-Nano (1.5 Pound) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71tJhEGKAqL.jpg) ![Zinc Oxide, Eco-Friendly Packaging, Non-Nano (1.5 Pound) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51ZNZRlDwwL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can i add this to lipgloss** A: Yes! This product is USP grade so it should be fine to add it to lip-gloss. **Q: Can anyone share their recipe for homemade sunscreen using zinc oxide?** A: The easiest way to create a sunscreen with Pure Organic Ingredients' Zinc Oxide is to add 1 to 2 tablespoons of the powder to a cup of your favorite lotion. We do recommend using a mixer or immersion blender to make sure the zinc oxide gets thoroughly incorporated into your lotion. To make homemade sunscreen from scratch, use the following recipe. Homemade Sunscreen Ingredients: ½ cup Pure Organic Ingredients’ Sweet Almond Oil ¼ cup Pure Organic Ingredients’ Coconut Oil ¼ cup Beeswax Pellets 10 to 30 drops Red Raspberry Seed Oil (optional) 10 to 30 drops Carrot Seed Oil (optional) 2 tablespoons Shea Butter (optional) 2 tablespoons Pure Organic Ingredients’ Zinc Oxide Note: Other essential oils can be used in place of red raspberry seed or carrot seed oils. The amount to use does depend on personal preference for scent and skin sensitivity. Do not use citrus essential oils as they increase sun sensitivity. Homemade Sunscreen Instructions: 1. Combine all ingredients except zinc oxide in a double boiler (or glass bowl that fits over a pot of water) and place over medium heat. Cover. 2. Stir occasionally as the ingredients melt. When all ingredients are completely melted, add the zinc oxide. Stir well to ensure even distribution of zinc powder. Pour into a resealable container for storage. (This should be a thicker lotion and will not work well with a lotion pump.) 3. Stir a few times as it cools to make sure zinc oxide is fully incorporated. 4. Store in a sealed container at room temperature. Additional Notes: We recommend wearing appropriate safety gear, such as a face mask, while making this recipe. Zinc Oxide is potentially hazardous if inhaled. **Q: does this incorporate well in creams or will it be gritty and white when added?** A: I found in the package it's clumpy and it takes some time you need to work it before you add it to a cream otherwise that does not incorporate well at all. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Plain Zinc Oxide.

I'm a ginger who has many allergies, so the ability to kar homemade sunblock is a necessity. Works like a charm! I added 1 tablespoon to 1 cup mixed oils and it's a little heavy, but I don't mind. My neighbor adds 1.5 teaspoons to.1 cup mixed oils and 1 tablespoon melted beeswax pellets for a waterproof version. Cannot beat the price and more importantly the coverage because the quality of the product is excellent. ## Frequently Bought Together - Pure Original Ingredients Zinc Oxide, Eco-Friendly Packaging, Non-Nano (1.5 Pound) - SVA Carrot Seed Oil - 4 Fl Oz – 100% Natural Cold Pressed Carrot Oil - for Face, Skin Care, Hair Care, Scalp Massage & Body Massage – Carrier Oil with Dropper - Majestic Pure Lavender Essential Oil with Glass Dropper | 100% Pure and Natural Lavender Oil | Premium Grade Essential Oils for Diffusers, Skin, Aromatherapy, Massage | 4 Fl Oz --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/46007982-zinc-oxide-eco-friendly-packaging-non-nano-1-5-pound](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/46007982-zinc-oxide-eco-friendly-packaging-non-nano-1-5-pound) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-05-31*
