Question 1

Can i add this to lipgloss

Accepted Answer

Yes! This product is USP grade so it should be fine to add it to lip-gloss.

Question 2

Can anyone share their recipe for homemade sunscreen using zinc oxide?

Accepted Answer

The easiest way to create a sunscreen with Pure Organic Ingredients' Zinc Oxide is to add 1 to 2 tablespoons of the powder to a cup of your favorite lotion. We do recommend using a mixer or immersion blender to make sure the zinc oxide gets thoroughly incorporated into your lotion. To make homemade sunscreen from scratch, use the following recipe.

Homemade Sunscreen Ingredients:
½ cup Pure Organic Ingredients’ Sweet Almond Oil 
¼ cup Pure Organic Ingredients’ Coconut Oil
¼ cup Beeswax Pellets
10 to 30 drops Red Raspberry Seed Oil (optional)
10 to 30 drops Carrot Seed Oil (optional)
2 tablespoons Shea Butter (optional)
2 tablespoons Pure Organic Ingredients’ Zinc Oxide

Note: Other essential oils can be used in place of red raspberry seed or carrot seed oils. The amount to use does depend on personal preference for scent and skin sensitivity. Do not use citrus essential oils as they increase sun sensitivity.

Homemade Sunscreen Instructions:
1.	Combine all ingredients except zinc oxide in a double boiler (or glass bowl that fits over a pot of water) and place over medium heat. Cover.
2.	Stir occasionally as the ingredients melt. When all ingredients are completely melted, add the zinc oxide. Stir well to ensure even distribution of zinc powder. Pour into a resealable container for storage. (This should be a thicker lotion and will not work well with a lotion pump.)
3.	Stir a few times as it cools to make sure zinc oxide is fully incorporated.
4.	Store in a sealed container at room temperature.

Additional Notes:
We recommend wearing appropriate safety gear, such as a face mask, while making this recipe. Zinc Oxide is potentially hazardous if inhaled.

Question 3

does this incorporate well in creams or will it be gritty and white when added?

Accepted Answer

I found in the package it's clumpy and it takes some time you need to work it before you add it to a cream otherwise that does not incorporate well at all.
