Zinc ointment is widely used. Its main ingredient is zinc oxide. Most often we use it to treat acne on the skin. The zinc oxide contained in it has a drying, anti-inflammatory and protective effect. Thanks to it, we can also soothe delicate abrasions of the epidermis and chafing in babies.
Zinc ointment is a popular medicinal preparation that can be used in many situations. It is used in the treatment of skin problems such as acne or diaper dermatitis in babies. However, few people know that zinc ointment can also be used as a sun protection cosmetic.
Zinc ointment – properties
The main ingredient in zinc ointment is, of course, zinc. It is characterized by drying, anti-inflammatory, astringent, antiseptic and protective properties. The zinc contained in the zinc ointment is therefore also a component of many other products, such as foundations, powders and sunscreen cosmetics.

Zinc ointment – application
Zinc ointment is widely used. Zinc and zinc oxide are popular medicinal ingredients. The ancient Egyptians already used their properties. Initially, zinc was used to dress wounds and heal ulcers. Today we can find it in many cosmetics and medicinal preparations as well as paints, varnishes and plastics.
Zinc ointment is mainly used for skin problems. After applying zinc ointment on the skin, you can immediately see a clear drying of the skin, which speaks for its use in the fight against acne.
If you have acne, you can use Indeed Clearify oil to supplement your daily routine. The natural oils and salicylic acid contained in the product soothe skin changes and leave the skin deeply moisturized.
Perfect for chafing from diapers in babies. Zinc ointment will also relieve abrasions and skin inflammation. Its consistency is so dense that it can be easily spread on the skin.

Zinc ointment – contraindications
Although zinc ointment is a very popular and cheap medicinal preparation, its use is not recommended in all cases. Zinc ointment should not be used when:
- we are hypersensitive to zinc oxide,
- we have damaged epidermis,
- we undergo acute skin inflammation,
- we are pregnant or breastfeeding.
When using zinc ointment, remember to avoid other agents that dry the epidermis. This can lead to skin irritation.
The condition of your skin will be assessed by a dermatologist during a follow-up visit. You can buy it safely at medonetmarket.pl.
Zinc ointment – application
Zinc ointment should be applied in a certain way. It all depends on the type of problem. The basis is to apply zinc ointment directly to the skin in small amounts. Too much ointment can lead to excessive skin dryness. We should also remember not to use it too often, which will also result in drying out. It is enough to apply zinc ointment once a day at bedtime.

Zinc ointment – what makes it different from zinc paste?
Zinc paste has more than twice as much zinc oxide as zinc ointment. Compared to zinc ointment, it is much more difficult to spread. This paste is excellent for spot application, for example in the treatment of acne, while zinc ointment is better for treating larger areas of the skin.
