My wife and children have very sensitive skin and have had both contact allergies and allergies which inflamed their skin causing rashes, chafing, eczema, extreme dryness and itching. Whether the cause was environmental or genetic, I was determined to develop a product which could relieve these symptoms.

Two of my sons had asthma as young boys and would break-out into hives and scratch all night long. Internal anti-histamines helped, but some of the side-effects caused other problems. They needed something to cool down the inflamed skin quickly.

My wife's hands were always raw from soaps and detergents, and even jewelry irritated her skin. Her elbows were often chapped with roughened (skin) tissue, and in the winter her fingernails would crack from dryness.

Our younger sons had contact dermatitis and were constantly going to the dermatologist and allergist. In each instance they needed some immediate relief and could not wait for internal medications to reach high enough blood levels.


As a Pharmacist, I dispensed a wide variety of internal and topically applied medications which had varying degrees of success. I was constantly working on formulating basic combinations of medicinals which were safe and effective. Many products on the market caused allergic reactions because of preservatives, stabilizers, surfactants, coloring agents, fragrances and even the inert fillers.

Skin problems are very common among people with systemic problems such as diabetes. More than 25% of people with diabetes have experienced some kind of skin problems, including boils, skin abscesses, severe dry skin, thickening of skin and nails, redness, itching, and cracks or fissures.

Cut-a-way diagram of skin

The skin is not only the largest organ of the human body, it is the quintessential protector against excess cold, heat, wind, sun and infections. Thus, it is prudent for everyone, but especially diabetics, to take care of their skin.

The skin needs adequate nutrition to maintain the durability and tone necessary for resisting injuries and it needs sufficient moisture to prevent cracking, peeling and breaks that allow infectious agents to enter the body.

Zincazone® has a smooth white consistency which makes it easy to apply and easy to adhere to the skin. It should be rubbed in gently upon application to the affected skin three to four times a day as needed.

It should not be used in the eyes or on broken skin. It is not recommended for children under two years of age unless otherwise directed by a physician. It does not require a prescription.

Zincazone® includes these important ingredients:

The Zincazone® formulation is naturally stabilized with Vitamin E. This is valuable to the skin because it has an knitting factor which aids healing, and it has been found to prevent scaring. It is used by many surgeons post-operatively as an agent to prevent scar tissue from forming. Vitamin E or mixed Tocopherols is beneficial in keeping the skin soft and pliable. The skin maintains its normal elasticity with the help of Vitamin E. Vitamin E is extracted from natural grains and is essential for normal cell structure. It is an anti-oxidant and may even prevent age spots as well.

Zinc aides in the absorption of Vitamin E, and zinc is an anti-oxidant as well. Anti-oxidants prevent the oxidation of lipids. All cell walls are composed of lipids, so it effectively prevents the cells protective coating from becoming rancid as a result of the assault of free radicals.

Zinc is a constituent of the anti-oxidant enzyme, Superoxide dimutase (SOD). Zinc has germicidal activity and prevents bacterial growth. Zinc may help prevent acne and regulate the activity of oil glands. Zinc is known to heal wounds and burns and the lack of zinc is often the cause of recurrent infections. Zinc Oxide has been used topically for its anti-bacterial activity. It's a natural sun screen. There is more zinc oxide in this product than any other product I know of on the market.
