Ingredients
How To Use
- Use sparingly and rub in well: if you look white, you've used too much. Let it sink in before dressing, as it can mark clothes.
- On the face: start once a day after oil cleansing with our Beauty Balm, then use it more or less often to suit your skin.
- Dry skin? Apply a moisturising balm first and layer the zinc cream over it, and your skin won't dry out. See how the sandwich technique works.
- As a barrier: on babies' bottoms at nappy changes, on hands before washing up or cleaning, and along the hairline before dyeing hair. It may take two washes to come out of hair.
On the scalp: it soothes an irritated scalp without making hair greasy, as zinc oxide absorbs oil. Use a little: if you apply a lot, it may take two washes to come out. - Under make-up: brush powder mineral foundation over the top with a kabuki or powder brush, or mix the two in your palm for a liquid foundation.
- Top tip: for very difficult skin, try it with Dead Sea Salt baths.

FAQs

Will my skin react to Lyonsleaf Products
Our products are all 100% natural and free from all artificial chemicals. Because they are water free we can even avoid antimicrobial preservatives and emulsifiers. For this reason it is very unusual for anyone to react to our products at all. However some people are sensitive to essential oils, so if you are super-sensitive please choose unfragranced product options. Even less common, it is possible to be allergic to calendula and other herbs, so it is always important to do a patch test. In the unlikely event that you do have an adverse reaction, you can return your product for a full refund. We also sell samples of most products so you can try before you invest in a big pot.
Why is the pot so small?
Lyonsleaf products are water free and contain only the finest, plant oils, butters natural waxes and mineral ingredients. Most high Street products are up to 80% water, which means you need to apply them much more liberally and frequently. You will find you only need to use Lyonsleaf products very sparingly to achive good hydration that lasts all day. Products that are rich in soothing herbs can be used more frequently to achieve the best calming effect, but they still only need to be used sparingly. So these little pots go a long way, using less packaging and less transportation resources.
Are Lyonsleaf products vegan?
Much of the Lyonsleaf range is vegan, but we do use organic beeswax in some products. When it came to choosing a suitable wax, we decided it would be better for the environment to choose a farming method that promotes pollinators rather than a vegetable mono-crop that causes deforestation and loss of habitat. We only use organic beeswax as organic farming standards require farmers to have high welfare standards for Bees.
