What Benefits does Zinc Oxide Have to the Skin?

Recently, covid 19 outbreak spreads in Shanghai, China. There are more than 25,000 new asymptomatic domestic infections every day. China is implementing a dynamic zero-out policy. A leading respiratory expert said the key to COVID-19 prevention and control is to minimize transmission and fatality rate. Omicron has a low case fatality rate but is highly transmissible and can still claim many lives in large outbreaks. "Total openness is not applicable in China.  For China, we should keep to the dynamic zero-out and gradually open up."  

However, "dynamic zero clearance" is not the pursuit of complete "zero infection".  As the Novel Coronavirus has its own uniqueness and strong concealment, there may be no way to prevent the detection of cases at present, but rapid detection and prompt treatment must be carried out, as soon as one case is found, one case will be dealt with.  

The situation in Shanghai is serious. As the financial center of China, Shanghai is a very important city, and the outbreak of the epidemic in Shanghai will put a great impact on China's economy.  The current task is to contain the spread of the epidemic as soon as possible, to achieve social zero so that Shanghai's life and economy quickly return to normal.  

As China plays an important role in the global supply chain, the outbreak will have a significant impact on the supply and prices of many zinc oxide powder.

Sunscreen

Zinc oxide is the main ingredient of natural or coral-friendly sunscreen. It reflects ultraviolet rays from the skin and provides a barrier between the skin and the sun. This protective barrier also helps to prevent water loss or transdermal water loss. When the moisture in the skin is lost to the environment, it will occur through the epidermis water loss or TEWL, resulting in the skin appears dull. Zinc oxide is an inert compound, which means it does not irritate the skin, making it an excellent substitute for chemical sunscreen, especially for sensitive skin or children.

Antibacterial

Zinc oxide also has antibacterial properties that help protect the skin from bacteria and help keep the product stable. This also means that fewer preservatives are needed to prevent products from deteriorating or being contaminated during use. The added benefit of antimicrobial properties is that it may help reduce secondary infections in acne skin, which can occur when defects lead to open wounds. Its antibacterial properties make it a common ingredient in antiseptic ointment.

Acne

Zinc oxide is usually formulated into products specially designed for the treatment of acne. This is due to its antibacterial properties and its ability to support wound healing and reduce visible irritation and redness. Zinc oxide is usually recommended as a dietary supplement to support other acne treatments. This is because zinc may act as an enzyme cofactor or helper molecule in DNA repair and collagen synthesis.

Moisture content

Because zinc oxide forms a protective barrier on the surface of the skin, it can also help keep the skin hydrated and moisturized. This is because it prevents the loss of TEWL or moisture from the skin into the environment. As the skin's ability to naturally regulate moisture decreases, this is especially important as you get older.

Irritant

Because it relieves skin irritation, zinc oxide is often used to calm and relieve the ability of irritated or reactive skin. Zinc is used as an active ingredient in anti-dandruff shampoo to prevent dry flaky skin on the scalp. It is also used in acne products and formulations specially designed for sensitive skin.

Anti-aging

Zinc oxide may also have anti-aging benefits. As mentioned earlier, it helps prevent moisture loss from the skin, which is important for aging skin. With the increase of age, the skin will slowly reduce the natural oil it produces, thus reducing the skin's ability to absorb skin moisture. The protective ability of zinc oxide helps to retain moisture. Another way in which zinc oxide may contribute to aging is through zinc's potential to act as an enzyme cofactor or helper molecule in DNA repair and collagen synthesis.

Diaper rash

One of the more popular uses of zinc oxide is to reduce diaper rash by creating a protective barrier on a baby's delicate skin. This reduces the effects of bacteria and other irritants that may be present in urine or other excreta on the skin. As a treatment for diaper rash, zinc oxide can appear in creams, lotions, ointments and various other forms, depending on the intended use.

Gas prices in European countries are expected to triple if Russian supplies are restricted, according to a press release from Rystad Energy, a Norwegian Energy consultancy.  

The price of natural gas in Europe was $1,200 per 1,000 cubic meters on Tuesday. The benchmark price is already 300 percent higher than a year ago. European gas prices are expected to continue to soar to $3,500 per 1,000 cubic meters if Russian supplies are restricted, according to Analysis by Monitor.

In 2021, Russia delivered 155 billion cubic meters of gas to Europe, accounting for 31 percent of its gas supply, according to an analysis by Monitor Advisors. It would be difficult for Europe to replace Russian gas, which would also destabilize the global LNG market and have a profound impact on Europe's population and economy.

The analysis also said that if Russia stopped supplies now, Europe's current gas reserves would be exhausted by the end of the year, setting in for a cold winter.

In addition, affected by the geopolitical factors, the supply of the zinc oxide powder is erratic and thus its prices are expected to go higher in the future.
