How do you guys make Desitin equivalent product with this? Petroleum Jelly + 20% to 40% in volume of Zinc Oxide will do it? any anti Acid?

I saved one of the large Vaseline containers (14oz I think) to mix the following: 7.5 oz of petroleum jelly with 2 oz castor oil and 4 tablespoons zinc oxide powder. Mix with plastic spoon or knife so you can throw it away after. It's makes a really good consistency ointment, and I add 3 drops each of rosemary, lavender and/or chamomile essential oil. Very soothing and smells great.

http://www.keeperofthehome.org/2012/10/make-your-own-pure-and-simple-diaper-rash-cream-no-more-desitin.html This is not the exact recipe I used. Mine had no beeswax. Keep googling and you'll find one you like.

I found this recipe long time ago and it really work great: zinc Oxide 3/4 tbsp; coconut oil 2/3 cup; and beeswax 1/8 cup, melt coconut oil and beeswax and then add zinc oxide blend for several min., and pour into a container let it cool .

I have no idea, but I received an acid burn on my back and it burned so bad. I had the 50%, so I followed instructions but I was horrified that it burned for so long ... I should have known better. I used cold water to stop the burn. They instruct you not to use any home remedies such as peroxide and you can't cover it. I had to cover it because I couldn't let my blouses touch it. Don't use it if you are not sure of what you are doing.

If you use natural fibers and mainstream detergent, zinc oxide will wash out of them. Desitin has been around long before disposable diapers and our parents and grandparents used it and they washed diapers with adequate amounts of strong detergent. The whole "cloth diaper safe" thing came to pass because of the recommendation to use a small amount of weak detergent to wash diapers came around and weak detergent won't get out the stains. If you use natural fibers and strong detergent, you don't need these liners. I have never had any staining with my natural fiber diapers and strong detergent (Arm & Hammer with Oxiclean, Gain, Tide, or Wisk - whatever is on sale).

I have done canning in mine but only jelly and jam, things that I would normally use a hot water bath to process. I have had complete success using this and find it invaluable when doing small batches of jams and jellies. I have not tried low acid foods in here as I see no way to regulate the pressure.

I asked the seller and he sent me the certificate of analysis. This is uncoated non-nano zinc oxide. The mean particle size is 350 so none of it should be nano sized.

Hey, knowing a little chemistry will help you with this. You don't want to dilute the strength but you can buffer it several ways. The easiest and least expensive is to use good old fashioned H2O. Before you apply the acid, rinse your face and leave it damp. The water will act as a buffer. You can also accomplish a similar result by just cutting down the amount of time you leave it on your skin. If your skin becomes too red after a use, take some baking soda and mix with water and apply to your face. Baking soda is a base that will neutralize any remaining acid. As your skin becomes "used to" the acid, you'll find you can leave it on longer and longer and will need to leave it on longer to achieve the same results. Hopefully, you're not starting out with 70% acid.

Good evening, honestly I can't recall exactly which one I purchased. However, I need to buy more and it really does work. A friend of my who used to work for an exterminator company in Kansas City reccomended it. The only downside to this is that it must be kept at a cool temperature so that the jelly like substance doesn't turn to liquid. Sorry I couldn't be much more help.

Distilled water, Hyaluronic Acid, .5% Benzylalcohol. One thing if you do purchase - don't put the straight stuff near your lips. I think it burned the top of my lip a little bit.

I would not recommend it for anything other than its intended use. There is petroleum jelly in it. Much more than the beeswax. (I stumbled on this product looking for beeswax for use in homemade skin care products.)

I use this zinc oxide to make sunscreen bars, I use a mixture of Coconut oil, Shea butter, and beeswax, for every cup of oils/waxes I use 1 tablespoon of zinc oxide for 30 spf. Instead of the shea butter you could use mango butter or cocoa butter.

This is a description from their website: Zinc Oxide Powder Finest Quality - High Grade. Designed for use in sun screens and cosmetics. The powder is pure white and made up of nano + 20%, sized particles (a white fluffy powder like flour). This size particle is perfect for sunscreen. It is not so small that is can be absorbed into the bloodstream, but small enough to turn transparent after sunscreen application. Don't settle for the usual micro sized zinc oxide powder from another supplier. Our Zinc Oxide Powder is a French Process zinc oxide as defined by ASTM D-4295. It is a very fine particle size, high purity oxide. It was especially developed to provide a zinc oxide of highest surface area and reactivity, along with minimum setting and opacity.

don't be afraid to use it. It has the same ingredients as Acid Mantle. I think it was the original!

The maximum amount of anti fungal acid you can put in a non prescription item. Like 15%. Your Better off using a 50/50 solution of vinegar and listerine.

Hi Connie, The Cotz plus sunscreen has 3% zinc oxide and 10% titanium dioxide. I was a Skin Ceuticals gal before my daughter's Dermatologist suggested this product. Have been using it for a year!! This product goes on smooth and is a light tan color which absorbs beautifully. I do not get burned or break out from this sunscreen. Its part of my everyday skincare routine.... Good luck. Cathy G

Very hard but it has to be overworked on. Best if don soon. I use antibacteria lemon or lavender handsoap. This always works with a little work. I'm glad I GOT this question. It reminded me to order more. I love it! Also great with a brush of baking powder lightly over the makeup.amazing finish.

Water,cetearyl alcohol, sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium cetearyl sulfate, petrolatum, glycerin, synthetic beeswax, mineral oil, aluminum sulfate, methylparaben, calcium acetate, trisodium EDTA, propylparaben. I agree with Ms. Lamb. This stuff works, and I'm an Acid Mantle user going back to the early '70s.

I use Philosophy's Hope In A Jar. You only need a very small amount. Let the serum dry completely and then apply moisturizer. I have not had any bad reaction by using the two. Hope this helps.
