Collection: Zinc oxide ointment

We only have one ointment containing zinc oxide and it is our best seller, 100% natural Zinc and Calendula Cream. 

Benefits of Natural Zinc Oxide Ointment

Natural zinc oxide cream is perfect for oily skin and teenage skin because it can rebalance excessive sebum production. But its use is not restricted to these skin types.

Both Zinc Oxide and Calendula are calming and are suitable for sensitive and problem skin. It is vital for these skin types that the ointments they use are natural and free from harsh preservatives which can be very reactive. Avoiding emulsifiers which can damage skin barrier is also advisable.

Zinc Oxide ointment is often discussed in support groups for those suffering with perioral dermatitis, acne and rosacea and Lyonsleaf Zinc and Calendula Cream is often praised for its gentle effectiveness.

Lyonsleaf zinc oxide ointment is also water repellant and can be used as a natural barrier cream or a natural nappy cream. Its moisture repellant quality makes it a good barrier cream for genital herpes and lichen sclerosus.

Zinc and calendula Cream is a great ointment for all sorts of family skincare issues and suitable for any skin that becomes inflamed or red.

We do have some customers who use Zinc and Calendula Cream to calm eczema and psoriasis, It's especially helpful for burning or weeping eczema maybe less helpful for dry eczema, because the zinc oxide can be quite drying. Customers with weepy eczema report it also works really well in conjunction with Dead Sea Salt baths. (be aware not to apply it to open wounds susceptible to infection, because the omission of antimicrobial preservatives means it is not a sterile product) The drying nature of Zinc and Calendula Cream makes Zinc and calendula cream a great ointment for blistering rashes including chickenpox. 

Some of our customers like to use it along side our Calendula and Marshmallow Balm, which is not quite as anti-inflammatory, but it can mitigate the drying effect of the zinc. If you have issues with the zinc oxide drying the skin, you can use the two products alternately and try to find the right balance for your skin. We sell samples of both products (as options on the product pages) so you can try before investing in full sized pots.
