Advanced Pharmacological & Dermatological Profile:
Active Ingredients and Mechanisms of Action:
Zinc Oxide (15.25%)
A mild astringent and antiseptic, zinc oxide provides a physical barrier that protects skin from irritants and excess moisture. It reduces fluid loss from inflamed skin and promotes epithelial regeneration. Its anti-inflammatory properties help alleviate irritation and redness, while its occlusive effect supports wound healing.Benzyl Alcohol (0.39%)
Acts as a local anesthetic and antimicrobial agent. It provides rapid relief from pain and discomfort associated with minor skin irritations, while also contributing to the prevention of secondary bacterial infection.Benzyl Benzoate (1.01%) & Benzyl Cinnamate (0.15%)
Both compounds, derived from Peru Balsam, possess antibacterial and antifungal properties. They enhance the cream’s effectiveness in treating infected or at-risk lesions and aid in skin repair by supporting cell regeneration and anti-inflammatory action.Lanolin (Hypoallergenic Form)
A natural emollient that mimics the skin’s lipid barrier, lanolin deeply moisturizes and soothes dry, chapped, or damaged skin. It aids in restoring barrier function and maintaining hydration in the stratum corneum.
