Pharmaceuticals - Health and Body Care

Because of its many useful properties (such as UV absorption, mild antiseptic effects, healing of chapped skin) zinc oxide is used in a wide range of cosmetics and personal care products including makeup, bandages, diapers, nail products, bath soaps and foot powders. Zinc oxide is also used in skin protectants, such as diaper rash ointments and sunscreen products.

To be used as an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in products such as baby care products or creams for instance, zinc oxide needs to be GMP certified by the manufacturer. Everzinc offers a range of high-purity zinc oxide products for use as API and excipient in pharmaceutical and personal care applications. Without certification, zinc oxide might not be accepted as raw material for the manufacture of these products.
