Skin-protective ointments that are gentle where it counts.
Ointments carry actives onto compromised skin, so purity is non-negotiable. Pharmaceutical Zinc Oxide provides the astringent, antiseptic, skin-protective action; vegetable Stearic Acid builds a smooth, stable base — both low in the impurities that matter.

What goes wrong, and why
Barrier and medicated ointments (zinc/calamine, nappy-rash creams, antiseptic bases) go onto broken or sensitive skin. That raises the bar on impurity control — especially lead in Zinc Oxide — and on base stability and feel.

How to specify
What to put in your spec sheet
- For dermal/paediatric ointments, specify the <5 ppm lead Zinc Oxide grade.
- Build the base with Triple-Pressed Stearic Acid for stability and feel.
- Confirm compendial grade and request the CoA with the lot's AAS lead result.
