What is Calamine Powder?
Calamine is a fine, pale pink powder made by blending high-purity zinc oxide (ZnO) with a small amount of iron oxide (Fe₂O₃). It has been used for centuries to treat skin irritation, inflammation, and itching.
Its primary functions include:
- Soothing irritated or inflamed skin
- Relieving itchiness from insect bites, rashes, and allergies
- Drying oozing wounds or moist rashes
- Acting as a mild antiseptic and astringent
These properties make calamine a go-to ingredient for topical creams, lotions, powders, and ointments used globally.
