Im afraid I dont know what no nano is. The lotion is the same consistency as other lotions. You cannot feel the particles at all. It is a great product, if yoiu want a total sun block. I have used it for two years now, after having one malignant melonoma and wanted more than a screening product.

here is some info i was able to get for you... i got this directclty from zinka... "All of our products are free of the nanoparticals. The SPF 30 formula contains 5% zinc. Of the 5% only 2% is a micro-fine zinc oxide, but not nano-size particals."

Zinc Oxide is actually inorganic, but it acts differently than other non-organic ingredients in body products. Zinc oxide will simply coat your skin so that UVA and UVB rays can't get to it. Non-nano Zinc will not get absorbed in the skin and in homemade diaper rash creams or acne creams, it will help dry out the skin.

An example of "nano" is here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_Nano, but I guess I was in nano-thermite mood while composing my comment. Nevertheless the pots and pans are designed for glass-top stoves, which I learned too late.

Yes, it has 6.0% zinc oxide in it. That is why it is suitable for sensitive skin; sensitive skin can tolerate a mineral sunscreen like titanium or zinc oxide, whereas it cannot usually tolerate the new chemical sunscreens.

I believed its nano I'm not sure but it's a wonderful flat iron. I've had mine for about 8 months.

The powder is pure white and made up of nano + 20%, sized particles (a white fluffy powder like flour).Essential Depots Zinc oxide does not contain nano particles (defined as particles less than 100nm).Essential Depot particle size ranges from 108nm to 132nm. With an average particle size of 120nm.

This is a description from their website: Zinc Oxide Powder Finest Quality - High Grade. Designed for use in sun screens and cosmetics. The powder is pure white and made up of nano + 20%, sized particles (a white fluffy powder like flour). This size particle is perfect for sunscreen. It is not so small that is can be absorbed into the bloodstream, but small enough to turn transparent after sunscreen application. Don't settle for the usual micro sized zinc oxide powder from another supplier. Our Zinc Oxide Powder is a French Process zinc oxide as defined by ASTM D-4295. It is a very fine particle size, high purity oxide. It was especially developed to provide a zinc oxide of highest surface area and reactivity, along with minimum setting and opacity.

AS far as I know the Zinc Oxide is mixed with mineral oil. For any further questions I would call the manufecturer

On the label it says it is produced from naturally occurring zinc ore & free from other metals. (Particle size <1000nm)

I bought these quite some time ago. I think it depends on the model of the nano.

Zinc Oxide 14.5%Titanium Dioxide 2.0%Hope this helps. My son uses it, and hasn't had any problems. He is not able to wear any other sunscreen because the ingredients will cause a rash.

I ordered this last year so I have no idea what's up with it saying spicy world, mine said nature's oil. It says that it is non nano not sure about it being coated. I used it in a DIY sunscreen so I hope it's safe. I've been happy with it.

The particles are not large, they are fairly fine.. i wouldnt go as far as to say they are as fine as a powder but compared to the CND brand of glitter and additives they are about the same size. I liked this glitter, its beautiful, only downside is you dont get all the colors they show in the picture. Part of the guess work when your ordering from other countries.

Yes. There are 2 active ingredients: zinc oxide at 9% and octinoxate at 7.5%

Invalid question, this is the only product that has the zinc oxide. This blocks all of the suns UVA & UVB rays, which damage sensitive skin. This sun screen must be reapplied during the day, but it is worth it if you have sensitive skin.

I don't know, but it is not clear, I got just as white as I do with the Coppertone that has zinc oxide. I did not like this product!
