Zinc is a trace element naturally present in the human body involved in many enzymatic reactions, well known and used since ancient times thanks to its multiple properties. Zinc gluconate, in particular, consists of two gluconate molecules bonded with a zinc molecule. This compound is often used for creams and serums because it is very stable and penetrates the skin optimally. Zinc performs a very important protective and soothing action on our skin, which is why we often find it in products for children and delicate skin. In particular, zinc is able to: - reduce the proliferation of bacteria and other microorganisms - soothe and dry pimples and imperfections thanks to its astringent properties - soothe and relieve redness by promoting normal skin physiology - form a protective shield against sun rays and atmospheric agents - promote cell renewal and accelerate healing For this reason it is useful in case of mixed and impure skins but also delicate and reddened skins.
