Where to buy zinc oxide that provides good coverage?

Hi,

I would like to make my own full coverage foundation. Qwerty, in one of the posts you said that the key to good coverage is the fine zinc oxide... Where can I find such ZO? Everyone seems to sell 0.16 or 0.30 micron-sized zinc oxides which are so transparent that they provide almost no coverage

(( I would like to buy a zinc oxide that provides enough coverage and is creamy, not chalky looking... Is that possible?

Is that something like white iron oxides? I know there are many different colors but I 've read on Make-It-Yourself! Delphi Forumthat there is something like white iron oxides and that they have some special name....

Please help me

BTW: I have already read The official make your own mmu thread!

Sweetscents sells ZO, but I have no clue what it's like...

when you will finish your own foundation I would like to know how do you make it because I'm thinking about that by myself.

good luck!

Here's a couple of things that can help with full coverage foundation
Methicone treated Serecite Mica and Methicone treated Titanium Dioxide will both help with adhesion and coverage.

Actually higher micron zinc oxide will provide better coverage. TKB actually has a high micro zinc oxide and says how it provides fuller coverage and isn't as translucent as low micron/z-cote zinc oxide.

Hope that helps.
