Uses & Benefits
Used for relief in mild skin infections/irritation and inflammatory skin conditions where drying, protective and mild keratolytic action is needed, such as diaper rash, prickly heat, minor rashes, eczema with oozing, superficial fungal/bacterial skin irritation (adjunct) and scaling lesions.
How It Works
Zinc oxide forms a protective barrier on the skin and has mild astringent and antiseptic action, helping reduce irritation and moisture-related rash. Salicylic acid is a keratolytic that softens and loosens the outer layer of skin, reducing scaling and helping other ingredients act better.
Directions for Use
For external use only. Clean and dry the affected area, then apply a thin layer 1–2 times daily or as directed by a doctor. Avoid contact with eyes, mouth and mucosa; wash hands after use unless hands are the treated area.
Do not apply on broken skin, deep wounds, large areas, or under occlusive dressings unless advised by a doctor. Stop use and seek medical advice if severe irritation, swelling, blistering, or worsening occurs. Avoid use in children/infants except on medical advice (especially on large areas/diaper area). Use cautiously in people allergic to salicylates; excessive use may increase salicylate absorption. Not for eyes or mucosal surfaces.
