Zinc is constituent of many enzymes - particularly of dehydrogenases and some peptidases. The zinc/copper containing superoxide dismutase (SOD) reduces superoxide anions (O₂^-) to peroxide anions (O₂^2-). Blemished skin and skin prone to acne often show low zinc levels. Zinc presumably influences the hormone metabolism.

Additive for DMS base creams for the treatment of blemished skin.

Local skin treatment by applying the pure concentrate.

Remarks

The concentrated active agent should be applied sparingly to the skin similar to dabbing in an ampoule product.

Liposome concentrates increase the effectiveness of the different components of a cream and if applicable, also the effects of skin pre- and follow-up treatments as they improve the penetration of other substances. Liposome concentrates make the skin very receptive for other substances and may at first leave a feeling of dry skin, which then will change to a feeling of a very soft skin surface.
