Abstract

There is disclosed a doped zinc oxide pigment composition and method of preparing said composition, wherein the dopant is uniformly dispersed in the zinc oxide matrix in the form of a solid solution such that the mechanism by which undoped zinc oxide absorbs blue or near ultraviolet light is suppressed, thereby yielding a whiter composition. Preferred dopants are Al and Li.
