Uses

The combination of panthenol and zinc oxide is used topically as a soothing and protective agent for skin irritation, minor wounds, diaper rash, and dry or chapped skin. Panthenol promotes skin healing while zinc oxide provides a protective barrier.

Do not use if

Avoid use in patients with known hypersensitivity to panthenol, zinc oxide, or any excipient in the formulation.

Side effects

Generally well tolerated. Rare cases of contact dermatitis or hypersensitivity reactions to any component may occur.

Warnings

For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. If irritation develops or worsens, discontinue use and consult a physician.

How it works

Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) is converted in the skin to pantothenic acid, which supports tissue repair and skin barrier function. Zinc oxide acts as a mild astringent and barrier agent, reducing inflammation and protecting against moisture and irritants.

Storage

Store below 25°C, away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep the container tightly closed.
