Guest guest Posted January 17, 2003 Report Share Posted January 17, 2003 Good Morning, I have a sample of BASF's Z-cote HP1 (Zinc Oxide & Dimethicone). I want to make a diaper balm for my son as he gets nasty rashes at times (especially in the warm weather). I'm not sure of the percentage to use in the balm as all the information from BASF is regarding the usage of Zinc Oxide as a sunscreen product and it says usage up to 25%.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2003 Report Share Posted January 17, 2003 , You have wrong grade of ZnO. You do not necessarily need the micronized grade for your purpose although using the micronized grade will be easier for you to disperse if you do not have access to high speed dispersing mixers. The typical usage level in a diaper rash ointment is 20%.
