- Zinc Oxide works as a skin protectant, forming a physical barrier that shields irritated areas from moisture and friction.
- Apex Laboratories is the originator listed for this formulation.
How Zinc Oxide works
Zinc Oxide is a form of the mineral Zinc that creates a protective barrier on the skin surface, a process called occlusion, which shields irritated skin from further moisture and friction.
