Calamine is one of the true charms of skincare. It might resemble clay, although it is not clay. Essentially, it is a mineral mixture of zinc carbonate with iron oxide, which gives the mix a slightly pink tint. In nature, it is found in minerals with quintessentially British-sounding names: smithsonite and hemimorphite (both beautiful and definitely worth a Google search). When synthetically produced, it appears as a fluffy powder that is found in balms, lotions, and other soothing cosmetic products. In practice, calamine powder has a calming effect, alleviating skin irritation and redness, reducing itching and burning, regulating the activity of sebaceous glands, and promoting skin regeneration. It is considered hypoallergenic raw material, effectively providing relief from rashes and other skin afflictions (for instance, those dreaded ones that follow leg shaving). When applied topically, it helps to dry out minor imperfections, thus dealing a blow to the side (we had to write this) of a pimple. A hand-mixed calamine paste can be used to fight facial discoloration, as well as irritation on the body, scalp, regenerative patches, and around the nails.
A soothing cosmetic product for application on imperfections, a face/body mask, an additive to masks, a soothing powder for baths.
