In cosmetic formulations, Zinc Oxide is valued for its opacity, mild astringent properties, and ability to enhance product coverage and texture. It is frequently used in creams, lotions, balms, powders, deodorants, and baby-care products. Due to its gentle nature when properly formulated, it is suitable for sensitive skin applications.

Zinc Oxide is also used as a physical UV filter in sunscreens; however, any UV protection or SPF-related claims require appropriate testing and regulatory compliance.
