ZINC HYDROXYAPATITE.

Insufficient Data CAS - / ORAL CARE

A unique compound combining calcium hydroxyapatite with zinc, primarily recognized for its applications in oral health. While offering potential antimicrobial and skin regenerative benefits, its specific efficacy in skincare is largely theoretical.

Antimicrobial Skin Regeneration Support Oral Care

Science

Zinc Hydroxyapatite merges the skin regeneration potential of hydroxyapatite, such as collagen stimulation and wound healing, with zinc's established antimicrobial properties. This dual action suggests benefits for skin tissue repair and protection.

Stability

Calcium in hydroxyapatite can dissolve below pH 5.5, suggesting instability in acidic conditions. Hydroxyapatite generally exhibits low solubility due to its crystalline structure, requiring continuous mixing in emulsions.


Safety

CIR Status
Not reviewed
Sensitization risk Low

The CIR has not reviewed Zinc Hydroxyapatite. The SCCS deems nano hydroxyapatite safe up to 5% for specific particle shapes in skincare, though this doesn't directly apply to zinc-doped forms.
