That is, a micronized, as opposed to a nano-particle zinc oxide. This is because recent research shows that nano-particles (those measuring between 1 and 100 nanometers) may be absorbed into the bloodstream and may pose health risks. To be safe, buy something measuring over 100 nanometers. Some companies (e.g. sunscreen manufacturers) have started switching to the larger nanometer sizes (sometimes referred to as "micronized zinc oxide") just to be safe. When ordering, you can ask the nanometer size, and they should be able to tell you. My two-cents worth on the topic of zinc oxide: It’s better to seek out a non-nano zinc oxide.

Avendola testata personalmente, trovo che sia meno “bianca” delle solite ( che hanno in media il 20-30% di O.d.Z.). Volendo la si puo’ correggere in questo senso, per fare cio’ occorrerebbe probabilmente diminuire in proporzione la cera d’api. .Perchè non saltare tutto questo sbattimento a piè pari, e comprare la pasta di Fissan? Ad esempio perchè fare in casa questa ricetta è facile, divertente e abbastanza veloce. Poi perchè una crema come questa, a base di Olio di Mandorle, è molto migliore delle creme commerciali, che sono a base di paraffina! Infine c’è un bel risparmio, soprattutto considerando la qualità degli ingredienti ( una crema simile, come ad esempio la crema per il cambio del noto marchio tedesco Weleda, costa ben 9 € per 75 ml! ) .
