zinc oxide
This term refers to a specific chemical compound rather than a general material. In a commercial or medical context, it is frequently associated with "barrier creams" or "physical blockers" in sunscreens, where it sits on top of the skin to reflect radiation rather than being absorbed.
As a chemical substance, it is treated as an uncountable mass noun. It does not have a plural form in standard usage; one would refer to "amounts of zinc oxide" or "zinc oxide powder" rather than "zinc oxides" unless referring to different chemical variations of the compound in a highly specialized scientific paper.
