Zinc Oxide in loose face powders
Good day everyone
I am after some clarification-with links/evidence- on the safety of ZnO powders in face powders. I recently read on CosIng that it shouldn’t be used where risk of inhalation there.Yet, there is still a max limit of 25% to be used!!
So does this mean I can still use it at max 25% in face powders as well or not
Can someone please help me out with understanding
Thanks in Advance -

No change, Zinc was added before Titanium.

Thanks a lot @Pattsi, just one more question:
For TiO2 they say it can be used up to 25% in face powders in loose forms and as well not to be used in applications that may lead to lung’s exposure by inhalation!!Does this mean they exclude the loose powders from the products that can lead to lung’s exposure ?!!
I wonder if that’s the case with TiO2, is it the same with ZnO?Can ZnO still be used up to 25% in loose powders?
TIA
