EcoZn ZeroTrace - Zinc Oxide

EcoZn™ ZeroTrace™

Advanced Zinc Oxide Dispersion for Clean Beauty and Sunscreen Formulations

EcoZn™ ZeroTrace™ is an advanced zinc oxide dispersion designed for modern cosmetic and personal care applications that require high performance without compromise. Engineered using a patented Italian synthesis process, this next-generation material features hollow, spherical, non-nano particles that deliver exceptional surface area and dispersion stability.

Formulated at 50% Zinc Oxide and 50% Water, EcoZn™ ZeroTrace™ offers superior UV protection, minimal white cast, and enhanced compatibility in a range of sunscreen and skincare systems. Unlike traditional micronized or aggregated zinc oxides, EcoZn™ ZeroTrace™ is a native mesoscale particle, offering a clean-label alternative for formulators seeking safe, effective, and aesthetically pleasing zinc oxide performance.

Key Features:

• Non-nano, Non-micronized Zinc Oxide
• Hollow, spherical morphology for enhanced surface area
• 650–700 nm particle size with narrow dispersity
• Pre-dispersed 50% aqueous formulation
• Minimal whitening / “Zero Trace” effect on skin
• Ideal for clean beauty and mineral sunscreen applications
• Carnosic Acid advisory: Not recommended for formulations containing Carnosic Acid due to potential color shifts

Applications:

• Mineral Sunscreens
• Moisturizers with SPF
• BB/CC Creams
• After-sun Care
• Natural Film-Forming Systems
