Micronized ingredients question

Post by Oxana124 » Fri Mar 26, 2010 4:28 pm

Hello,
I was just wondering if anyone know if the SN powders have micronized particles. I took a quick glance through the website, but didn't see anything about this. I am more specifically wondering if the Sheer Zinc powder contains these. Thanks!

EDIT: I found the info, I was just looking at headings and stuff, didn't think to check individual products, but it was under the Sheer Zinc info.

Yeah, it has already been talked about in the forum, too:

So is the Zinc in the Luxury Powder non-micronized?

It's small enough to be sheer, but it's not the creepy ultra fine nano size zinc (we don't use that at all...there just isn't enough science to tell me it's safe). I trust it, and I'm a pretty skeptical person.

Is this in reference to the zinc in the Luxury Powder or in the Sheer Zinc powder?
Thanks! :)
