Soft Care Heat Lotion

Calamine and zinc oxide

• Calamine is a mixture of zinc oxide and ferric oxide and is known for its skin-protecting, soothing, and anti-itch properties. Zinc oxide is a key ingredient with several benefits:
• Astringent and antiseptic: Helps clean and tighten the skin, reducing the risk of infection.
• Protective barrier: Forms a physical barrier on the skin to guard against irritants and moisture loss, promoting healing.
• Relieves irritation: Soothes redness, itching, inflammation, and discomfort from conditions like eczema, sunburn, and minor wounds.
• Drying agent: Helps dry out oozing or weeping skin from rashes caused by things like poison ivy or chickenpox.
• UV protection: Acts as a physical sunscreen by reflecting harmful UV rays.

Bentonite clay

• Bentonite is an absorbent clay that adds to the lotion’s drying and detoxifying actions.
• Absorbs excess moisture: Works to soak up extra oil and moisture from the skin’s surface.
• Detoxifying action: Draws out impurities and toxins from the pores.

Sodium citrate

• In a lotion, sodium citrate primarily acts as a pH adjuster, but also has other beneficial properties.
• Regulates pH: Buffers the product’s acidity to a level that is safe and gentle for the skin.
• Mild antioxidant and preservative: Contributes to the lotion’s stability and shelf life.

Liquefied phenol

• Phenol, in the low concentration found in such a lotion, functions as an antiseptic and antipruritic (anti-itch) agent.
• Antiseptic: Prevents or treats minor skin infections by killing bacteria.
• Anesthetic effect: Provides a numbing, anti-itch sensation on the skin.

Glycerin

• Glycerin is a humectant that provides moisture to the skin.
• Hydrates the skin: Attracts and holds water from the environment to keep the skin moisturized and soft.
• Strengthens skin barrier: Helps fortify the skin’s natural moisture barrier, protecting it from irritation.
• Aids healing: Creates a moist healing environment and helps cells mature properly.
