Zinc Definition:
For many years, zinc has been used as an astringent, an antiseptic and a skin protectant. However, a recent advisory panel of the US Food and Drug Administration has determined that zinc salts (zinc oxide, zinc stearate, and zinc sulfide) have no established effectiveness in the treatment of acne. Some dermatologists, however, recommend zinc to their patients for it's anti-inflammatory effect, theorizing that zinc releases vitamin A which may normalize cells. Zinc oxide is also an effective sunblock. Products that Contain Zinc:
