Zinc Oxide Powder Blend

Description:  4 oz shaker canister of powder. Electroherbalism’s Zinc Oxide Powder Blend is pure zinc oxide mixed with a talc-free body powder mixture.  This healing antibacterial and antifungal deodorant powder is not scented.  It is without question the best deodorant powder for babies.  It can be used to quickly heal diaper rash instead of using zinc oxide creams which are typically full of petrochemicals. and is safe enough to use as a daily powder.  Instead of talc, Electroherbalism uses a mixture of arrowroot and kaolin powders.

Zinc Oxide Powder is the best foot and body powder for adults, too.  It prevents foot odor and fights foot and toenail fungus problems without harsh or toxic chemicals.  A small amount sprinkled in the shoes or on the feet once per day is all that is necessary. Zinc Oxide Powder is also good as an underarm deodorant to avoid the petrochemicals, aluminum, and other toxins of commercial products.

Electroherbalism's Zinc Oxide Powder was once made with 50% zinc oxide but zinc oxide is too grainy, even when finely ground, to be comfortable on sensitive body areas when using in this high a proportion so the amount was reduced to 1/3 of the mix, or slightly more than 33%. This still provides it a very strong antibacterial and antifungal action. Powders that are sold in stores that advertise zinc oxide as one of the ingredients typically contain 1% zinc oxide. This contains 33 times more.

Besides as a body powder, Electroherbalism's Zinc Oxide powder can be used in novel ways, too. Putting some in the hand and adding a few drops of water to make a paste and rubbed into the skin in an even layer, it can be used as an emergency sunscreen. Used in this manner it will also dry up acne faster than most commercial products made for the purpose. Electroherbalism's Zinc Oxide powder is also the base for a high strength cream deodorant formula in the Recipes section.

Ingredients:  Zinc oxide, arrowroot, and kaolin powders.

Directions:  Apply as desired to body, feet, shoes, etc.  For underarms, shake a small amount in hands and apply to underarm area.  For shoes it is only necessary to dust them every few days to once per week.
