Calamine
CAS 8011-96-9
What this ingredient generally does
Calamine is a powder made of zinc oxide and iron oxide that works as an absorbent and skin protectant. It soaks up excess moisture and forms a surface layer on skin. It also adds opacity, making the product more opaque and less see-through.
Reviewed before publication. This note describes function in a formulation, and nothing else.
