As most of us already are aware,
zinc and
zinc oxide have been used to treat and protect the skin from numerous environmental issues. It has been used in various products to repair damaged skin, repair skin wounds, and protect the skin from the harmful UV rays of the sun. As a matter of fact, zinc and zinc oxide has been proven to be
one of the most effective and safest sun block ingredients to use on the skin.
The question, however, is why do we use
Zinc Pyrithione in our
ZincKit Spray product? Zinc Pyritione is a complex compound from the properties of zinc. Bonded with sulfur and oxygen in a liquid form, Zinck Pyritione allows for the benefits of zinc for skin and scalp treatment in a convenient and easy to use form.
Zinc Pyrithione is used in many industrial applications such as paint, sponges, etc., as it offers excellent anti-fungal properties to inhibit mildew algae, and bacteria. In a similar way
Zinc Pyrithione works on the
treatment of psoriasis, eczema, and seborrhoeic dermatitis. The action of the solution inhibits pathogens from
streptococcus and
staphylococcus bacteria. This is most notable for shampoo usage to relieve intense dandruff and flaky dry skin. The antifungal nature of this solution is thought to safely disrupt skin activity to curb psoriasis type of out breaks.
Zinc Pyrithione also lessens skin discoloration mainly redness due to the soothing properties of zinc when applied to the skin. What may be the most important aspect of Zinc Pyrithione is the ability to seriously
relieve the constant itching that can be experienced regularly with most eczemas and psoriasis.
So, when
treating skin conditions due to psoriasis and eczema, “
Think Zinc”.
