Chamosyn® With Manuka Honey Multi-purpose Moisture Barrier
Q: How does Chamosyn protect and soothe irritated and chafed skin?
A: Chamosyn is specially formulated with two active ingredients: zinc oxide and menthol. Zinc oxide seals in moisture and protects the skin from irritants that put skin at risk for breakdown. It dries light exudate from compromised areas and adheres to weepy, macerated skin. Menthol is an analgesic that helps stimulate the nerve endings, relieving burns, itching, and any local discomfort.
Q: Why is Chamosyn enhanced with Aloe, Chamomile, and manuka honey?
A: Because these three ingredients combine to temporarily protect, heal, and sooth irritated or chafed skin. Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice is rich in carbohydrates, trace minerals, and various organic substances that promote skin hydration. Chamomile Oil is a natural anti-inflammatory that helps calm affected areas of the skin, thus reducing the risk of infection. Manuka honey offers unique skin protective properties that make it particularly useful in combating unwanted damp skin conditions. Plus, Manuka honey helps control the vulnerable skin areas around the edges of heavily draining wounds, such as ulcers and fistulas.
