zinc oxide

[Guest guest]

What are the ingredients in ZincO? Anyone know? It burns like the

devil on my face.

I found one thing I can use, however and pass this on in case it might

help someone.

I ordered plain powdered zinc oxide from a pottery/clay supply house.

It's a dense white powder and cheap.

I also ordered some red iron oxide powder. Also cheap.

I tint the powdered zinc oxide with the red iron oxide and sieve them

together over and over again.

Then I put a tiny bit of plain jojoba oil on my face and neck. Then I

put some of the tinted powder (1/4 teaspoon or so) in my hand and add

a few drops of purified/distilled water and smear this onto my face

and neck. After it dries, I put a tiny bit of jojoba oil on my fingers

and smooth out the powder on my face. If places are too oily, I blot

them lightly with a tissue.

This is the only thing I can put on my face. Even Zinc Oxide in a

tube won't work because it burns so badly.
