The industry's most recognized neutralized zinc based skin care topical. This counter-irritant provides soothing relief from itching and drying of raw skin conditions. How Does it Work? To answer this question we must ask how calamine lotion the medical industry's most popular anti-pruritic reduces itching. Calamine lotion used since antiquity (Egyptian development) is zinc-based. Centuries ago natural mineral deposits containing zinc carbonate were used for the zinc source. Today a variety of zinc salts (zinc acetate etc.) are used to manufacture calamine lotion. The zinc in calamine lotion offers modest bioavailability. The zinc in Zn7™ Derm complexed with L-lysine and taurine is not only stabilized at a neutral pH (the zone of intracellular 6.8 - 7.2pH) but is carried across cell membranes at much higher levels to deliver greater anti-pruritic benefits deep within the skin.
