Between 2003 and 2014, the scientific committees of the European Commission, released several opinions on zinc oxide:
In light of these scientific opinions, the Commission considers that zinc oxide in non-nano form should be authorised for use as a UV filter in cosmetic products; zinc oxide in nano form should be authorised for use as a UV filter in cosmetic products. Both forms of the substance should be authorised at a maximum concentration of 25 %, except in applications that may lead to exposure of the end-user's lungs by inhalation. Additionally, it specifies that zinc oxide in nano form is only allowed if it complies with specific characteristics related to its purity, particle diameter, water solubility and coating.
The details of the restriction are listed in the Commission Regulation 2016/621/EC of 21 April 2016 amending Annex VI to Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council on cosmetic products.
