Concentration of ingredients

Post by slynch58 »

Like many of you, my facial skin is sensitive to most topical ingredients. I was wondering what are the percentages of sulfur and zinc oxide in the ZZ cream? I'm noticed the cream's overall effectiveness, but I am a bit worried about long-term use of anything if it has high concentrations of certain products. Anyone aware of the concentration breakdown?

Sensitivity

After the mites are gone, the skin is less sensitive.

Zinc oxide is only one of the ingredients, there are many, and it is the combination
from them all, together with the secret ingredients which I can pity enough not give you,
which is doing the job,
even 40% zinc oxide alone can do nothing against demodex mites.
