Guest guest Posted July 2, 2001 Report Share Posted July 2, 2001 Hi Valarie --- I use a plain zinc oxide ointment made by E. Fougera & Co., a New York company which manufactures inexpensive generic pharmacy products. (I live in Canada, but I bought the zinc oxide when I lived in the U.S.) The ingredients are: " zinc oxide 20% in a mineral oil, white wax and white petrolatum base " I use it as a sunblock when I'm going to be out in the sun for a few hours (I'm a devoted gardener --- there's no way I'm giving up the great outdoors!), and then I wash it off when I come in. My skin is oily and pimple-prone, but the zinc oxide ointment doesn't seem to make me break out --- perhaps because I only leave it on for a few hours.
