Zinc Oxide

Zinc oxide is a white powder with very fine grains that is soluble only in acidic or basic substances and not in water. The main property of zinc oxide that makes it particularly useful and recommended is its ability to soothe inflammation and skin irritation. It helps to heal wounds earlier by promoting the healing of the epidermis and also works in prevention by avoiding the appearance of redness or skin problems. It is particularly used in specific creams for babies or children due to its anti-irritant power but also in sunscreens, since it has the ability to form a protective screen against sunlight and other atmospheric agents. It also has an antiseptic action, i.e. it is able to avoid the proliferation of bacteria and other microorganisms, anti-inflammatory and astringent. This last property makes it a product suitable for treating pimples and acne, which helps to reduce inflammation and dry. Furthermore, other skin problems such as eczema, dermatitis and psoriasis can also be effectively treated with zinc oxide. Generally the creams and ointments that are used against irritations have substance concentrations of around 10-15% (however, there are also some with a concentration of 50% but they are considered medicines in all respects).
