# There’s a new Zinc Oxide blossoming in your field

We’ve been producing zinc oxide for a wide variety of uses for over 40 years. Now, our new USP-111 grade ZnO puts us in your field as a reliable source for your zincoxide requirements.

St. Joe USP-111 is a fine particle size, high purity, French Process zinc oxide which meets all the requirements of the United States Pharmacopeia. Its high purity and high dry bulking properties give it excellent performance characteristics in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.

In cosmetics, St. Joe USP-111 performs successfully in products such as face powders, hair preparations, deodorants and preparations for protection against the sun. In pharmaceuticals, this ZnO grade is suggested for dermatological lotions, ointments and pastes. In addition to its own medicinal properties, it is also an aid to dispersion of semiliquid medicinal substances in ointments. Other uses include larvicides and germicidal soaps.

When you specify St. Joe Zinc Oxide you get over a million dollars worth of “insurance” that every shipment meets the most exacting quality standards. That’s what our quality control costs us per year.

Our field technical staff, backed by one of the best equipped laboratories in the industry, helps insure your success with our zinc oxide.

Write, on your letterhead please, for a data sheet on St. Joe USP-111 or call Rupe Bing at 212-953-5104 for further information and the name of your local St. Joe distributor.

Chiara Benedetti:

Why did they feel the need to include how much they pay for quality control? I can understand wanting to mention it to show the process but I feel like they went a little overboard in explaining.
