The Power of Zinc

Why Zinc Is a Skincare Essential For The Whole Family

Zinc is one of the most effective and trusted minerals in skincare. Naturally present in healthy skin, it helps calm irritation, reduce redness, and protect against infection. That’s why it has long been used to treat everything from baby nappy rash to teenage breakouts and adult flare-ups.

With the launch of Formula 176 Zinc Cream, Elave brings this skin-saving mineral into a modern, multi-use formula suitable for the most sensitive skin -  at any age.

The Power of Zinc for Soothing and Protecting Skin

When the skin barrier is compromised, zinc plays a vital role in calming inflammation, supporting healing, and shielding the area from further irritation. Whether you’re dealing with chapped skin, blemishes, dry patches or friction rashes, zinc helps reduce flare-ups and speeds up recovery.

Because zinc is naturally concentrated in the skin’s outer layers, applying it topically reinforces the skin’s defences - helping to restore calm where it’s needed most.

Formula 176: Gentle, Effective Relief from Infant to Adult

Formula 176 Zinc Cream is a rich, leave-on spot treatment suitable for delicate, dry, and irritated skin. It contains 15% zinc oxide to soothe and protect, alongside vitamin E to support skin healing, and nourishing castor oil to soften dry areas.

The formula is non-steroidal, non-comedogenic and free from irritants, making it gentle enough for baby skin, yet effective enough for teenagers and adults managing blemishes, eczema-prone areas or everyday skin stress.
