Active Ingredients:
Zinc Oxide
Zinc oxide is an inorganic compond mineral widely used in topical ointments for many different skin irritants. Its most common uses are for treating diaper rash, acne, severely chapped skin, and minor scrapes and burns. Zinc oxide is known to have minor astringent and antiseptic properties that make it a healing, protective barrier for the skin. It is the broadest spectrum UVA and UVB reflector that is approved for use as a sunscreen by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is completely photostable.
Petroleum Jelly
Petroleum Jelly is a mixture of paraffin and microcrystalline wax and mineral oil that is recognized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as an approved over-the-counter skin protectant for topical aplications. In lotions and topical ointments it acts as an occlusive moisturizer that forms a sealant to lock water into the skin, preventing dryness. It can also resolve dryness by preventing further water loss from the skin, allowing the skin to repair itself from within. As an occlusive, it can help seal skin breakage-preventing bacteria or impurities from entering the wound and allowing the body's natural healing properties to work without interruption. It is also know as white petrolatum or soft paraffin.
