Alpha Zinc & Castor Cream 50g

Alpha Zinc & Castor Cream 50g is a multi-purpose barrier cream formulated to soothe, protect and moisturise dry, cracked or irritated skin. Combining the protective benefits of zinc with the nourishing properties of castor oil, this non-greasy cream helps restore the skin barrier, reduce friction and support healing for nappy rash, chafed skin, minor irritations and everyday dry areas.

Key Benefits

  • Deeply moisturises and softens with castor oil and emollients
  • Helps soothe irritations from nappy rash, chafing, pack lines and minor skin breakdown
  • Supports skin repair by keeping the area hydrated and protected
  • Suitable for repeated topical use on hands, feet, body folds and baby skin (see cautions)
Ingredients and Materials

Key ingredients: Zinc oxide (skin-protectant), Castor oil (ricinus communis) for emollient and lubricating action, plus supporting emollients, emulsifiers, purified water and preservative agents to ensure stability. Exact formulation may vary by batch—refer to package label for full ingredient list.

This blend is crafted to maximise skin barrier protection, reduce moisture loss and provide a soothing, protective layer on compromised skin. Keywords: zinc cream, castor oil cream, barrier cream, emollient.

How to Use

1. Clean and dry the affected area gently before application.

2. Apply a thin, even layer of Alpha Zinc & Castor Cream to the irritated or dry skin 2–3 times daily or as needed. For nappy rash, apply at each nappy change.

3. For heavily cracked or very dry skin, apply more frequently and consider occlusion (covering) overnight if appropriate.

4. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. If using alongside medicated treatments, consult a healthcare professional to ensure compatibility.

Who It's For

Alpha Zinc & Castor Cream is ideal for: individuals with dry, rough or chapped skin; parents seeking a protective nappy-rash barrier cream; people prone to skin friction or pack lines; those needing a soothing emollient for minor skin irritations and barrier repair. Suitable for adults and children—consult a healthcare professional for infants under 3 months or if treating severe dermatitis.

Caution & Storage

Cautions: For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Conduct a patch test before wider use if you have sensitive skin. Discontinue use and seek medical advice if rash, irritation or hypersensitivity occurs. When using on babies or newborns, consult a paediatrician first. Do not apply to deep or puncture wounds, animal bites or serious burns unless directed by a clinician.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the tube/container tightly closed when not in use. Keep out of reach of children. Do not freeze.
