RE: [BayCanaryGrapevine]Sunscreen - source for zinc oxide and titanium dioxide




Hi Isis,
Here's the name of the company from which I obtained zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. 

http://www.coastalscents.com/cfwebstore/index.cfm/product/333_46/zinc-oxide.cfm

I just got an email from them today.  Apparently they are having a mother's day sale, coupon code MAMA.  I didn't read all the details, but I think it's 20% off.  NFI

When I looked at the ZnO page they said the average particle size of the zinc oxide cyrstals is 0.12 micrometers.  THat corresponds to 120 nanometers.  I'm not sure how small something has to be to function as a nanoparticle.  Probably some of the particles would be small enough to fall into that category?
