How a zinc oxide barrier cream works
Zinc oxide sits on the skin’s surface as a protective layer, repelling moisture so the skin underneath can recover. Because it is a barrier rather than an active medicine, apply a thin, even layer to clean, dry skin as often as needed.
Ingredients
- Zinc oxide 7.5% w/w
- Phenoxyethanol 0.5% w/w (preservative)
- In a castor oil emollient base. No added fragrance or colouring.
