Care Calamine Lotion 200ml (Calamine 15% w/v, Zinc Oxide 5% w/v)

This trusted Care Calamine Lotion 200ml offers a welcome cooling sensation to help ease discomfort caused by mild skin conditions. Its key active ingredients, Calamine 15% w/v and Zinc Oxide 5% w/v, work together to calm and protect irritated skin, making it a reliable choice for your family's healthcare cabinet.

How Calamine 15% w/v and Zinc Oxide 5% w/v Provide Relief

Calamine 15% w/v acts as a counter-irritant. When applied, the lotion evaporates, producing a cooling effect that helps distract from the sensation of itching. This makes it particularly effective for common conditions such as sunburn and the widespread itch associated with chickenpox. Its gentle action provides prompt comfort to the skin.

Zinc Oxide 5% w/v complements calamine by offering mild antiseptic properties, which can help prevent infection in minor skin breaks from scratching. Together, these ingredients also act as mild astringents, helping to dry out weeping or blistering skin, which can further aid in soothing irritation from insect bites and other minor rashes. This combination supports the skin's natural recovery process.
