Calamine. Also known as hemimorphite, is widely used in lotions, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.
| Extended Information | Calamine is usually a mixture of zinc oxide with about 0.5% ferric oxide. It is the main ingredient in calamine lotion and is used as an anti-pruritic (anti-itching agent) to treat conditions such as sunburn, rashes, poison ivy, poison oak, chickenpox, and insect bites and stings. It is also used as a mild antiseptic to prevent infections that can be caused by scratching the affected area, and an astringent to dry weeping or oozing blisters and acne abscesses. |
