Can any oil help? Can Aloe Vera help diminish the white finish?
Thank You! |

| I know it will make you feel like you are applying "body makeup," but you could just add some iron oxides to the mix. |

add some lycopene, that's what I do... you can use a lycopene capsule but only add drop by drop as it is very easy to make the sunblock dark brown! |

Morocha what type of zinc oxide are you using?
I find micronized coated zinc is less visible than others. But if you rub it in well, the white cast should fade in a few minutes.
Using sea emollient + lecithin + oil + polysorbate + water as a base helps too.
Goodluck! |

micronized is not bad, it's the nano particle which is bad... yes, lycopene helps with whitness, that's why I mentioned it! |

| Thank You. So which type of micronized zinc oxide can be used without the harmful nano particles? What size in micronized zinc is acceptable? And with the lycopene are you referring to the capsules? |

| So I have the french process zinc oxide. It is like flour. It doesn't specify what the particle size is. I have used it for sunscreen and make-up. I'm careful not to breath it in. I suppose the particles are very small. I haven't had any problems. I hope it is ok. |
