Applications

The versatility of ZinClear™ IM zinc oxide dispersions enables formulators to add full-spectrum UV protection to a variety of personal care products.  Amerchol provides technical and formulations support to help you accelerate your product development.

Natural / Organic Sun Protection Products

ZinClear™ IM 50CCT is the ideal UV filter for products where an "all natural" claim is important.  In the past, creating a "natural" or "organic" product that included UV protection has been very difficult due to the synthetic nature of liquid / crystalline UV filters or the extensive particle engineering of nano-size inorganic particles.  ZinClear™ IM 50CCT has been recognized by ECOCERT as an ingredient of "natural origin".

ECOCERT status documents and formulary for ZinClear™ IM 50CCT are available to support your product development needs.

Beach Wear

Whether you're looking to formulate a beachwear product in lotion, cream, stick or spray form, ZinClear™ IM products are an ideal additive to help increase UVA and UVB coverage without the oily feel of synthetic liquid UV filters.  The outstanding transparency of ZinClear™ IM will ensure that beach formulas go on clear, even at concentrations of 20% and higher, without the whitening associated with inorganic sunscreens. 

Whether you are looking for an all-zinc oxide, an all-inorganic formulation or a zinc oxide - organic blend to hit your SPF and UVA targets, ZinClear™ IM has unsurpassed ease-of-use.  In a zinc oxide dispersion form, ZinClear™ IM products can be simply added to your oil phase with good mixing.  And, zinc oxide has been recognized for its safety on the skin for over 300 years.

Daily Wear

ZinClear™ IM products are ideal for products like facial moisturizers and body lotions.  ZinClear™ IM provides the full-spectrum coverage necessary to help protect from the sun's rays, while at the same time offering outstanding transparency over other zinc oxide and titanium dioxide products.  That means no whitening on the skin, even at zinc oxide concentrations of 20% or higher!
