Sample - Miracle Zinc Ointment - Multi-purpose

It is produced by burning zinc vapour in a stream of air. When exposed to air, it absorbs moisture and carbon dioxide and turns into zinc oxide. Zinc is a soft metal with a low melting point. It has been used since the Middle Ages, and its presence in the diet is essential for the proper development of the body. It is relatively abundant in the Earth's crust, with an average content of approximately 100 mg/kg. Its concentration in seawater is also quite high – 0,01 milligrams per litre. The main zinc mineral is zincite. An odourless white powder with the chemical formula ZnO, it may look unassuming, but it has a wide range of uses in natural cosmetics. It is an active ingredient in deodorants and an antiseptic, antibacterial protective agent for acne or irritation on babies' bottoms or feet. Zinc has antibacterial properties, reduces inflammation and can curb the excessive sebum production that causes acne. In deodorants, it absorbs excess moisture, but most importantly, its antibacterial action prevents bacteria from breaking down and multiplying, and from breaking down sweat, which is the main cause of odour. Zinc oxide does not penetrate the skin; it stays on the surface, forming a protective barrier.

Zinc oxide restores the skin barrier by forming a physical protective layer on the skin's surface, preventing harmful substances and UV radiation from penetrating. It acts as a broad-spectrum mineral UV filter, reflecting both UVA and UVB rays like a mirror to provide photostable protection without losing effectiveness. It has antibacterial properties, binding to proteins in the cell membranes of bacteria such as staphylococci and E. coli and disrupting their permeability. It soothes inflammation, supports wound healing and absorbs excess moisture. In deodorants, it regulates sebum production and suppresses odour. Recommended concentrations: 2-10 % in emulsions, 1-60 % in mineral cosmetics, typically 15-25 % in sunscreens for SPF protection.

It is recommended for sensitive, dry, oily, acne-prone, dehydrated and mature skin. It is ideal for children with nappy rash, people with atopic eczema, and acne-prone skin to reduce inflammation and excess sebum production. It is suitable for people with sensitive skin looking for natural UV protection without chemical filters, including pregnant women and allergy sufferers. In mineral make-up, it mattifies the skin and covers imperfections. Avoid nanoparticles due to potential risks; opt for microparticles that do not leave a white cast.

A study by Dunford et al. (1997) showed that zinc oxide nanoparticles generate reactive oxygen species under UV radiation, damaging the DNA of skin cells. A study by Sharma et al. (2009) confirmed that ZnO and TiO2 nanoparticles react with UV radiation and cause damage to skin cells. An official study of ALPHANOVA products demonstrated that mineral filters, including ZnO, remain on the skin's surface and do not penetrate the barrier.

Virgin coconut oil is obtained from the flesh of the coconut palm (Cocos nucifera). Its unique properties make it one of the oils with a very wide range of external uses. A characteristic feature is its solid consistency, which becomes liquid at around 24 °C. It is a source of vitamins A, C and E. Virgin coconut oil is made up of acids known as natural antibiotics. It contains beneficial fatty acids, particularly lauric acid, which accounts for almost 50 %. This acid is also found in breast milk, where it serves as an easily digestible component and helps protect the developing immune system against viruses and infections. Lauric acid has natural antiviral properties. Other acids found in the oil help destroy yeasts, fungi and viruses by disrupting their membranes. They are then easily neutralised by white blood cells. The oil is obtained by mechanically pressing fresh coconut flesh, using methods such as wet milling or quick drying, which preserve its natural properties and delicate coconut aroma.

Coconut oil is an excellent emollient that moisturises the skin by forming a protective layer to prevent water loss, restores the skin barrier and acts as an antioxidant against free radicals. It has antibacterial, antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties thanks to its high concentration of lauric acid (up to 50 %), which disrupts the membranes of pathogens. It soothes irritation, helps regenerate the skin and supports collagen production. It penetrates deeply into the skin and hair, softening them and protecting them against external factors such as UV radiation. At concentrations of 5-10 % in cosmetic formulations, it effectively hydrates and strengthens the barrier without clogging pores when used correctly.

It is particularly recommended for dry, sensitive, dehydrated and mature skin, providing intensive hydration and regeneration. It is suitable for skin irritated by shaving, sun exposure or eczema. It gives normal skin suppleness and radiance. It is not ideal for oily or acne-prone skin due to its higher comedogenic rating, although derivatives may be safer. It is also excellent for low-porosity hair, helping to reduce breakage and support growth.

A study published in the International Journal of Dermatology (2008) showed that applying virgin coconut oil to dry skin significantly improved hydration and reduced transepidermal water loss by 20-30 % compared with mineral oil after 2 weeks of use. Further research in the Journal of Traditional and Complementary Medicine (2017) confirmed that lauric acid from coconut oil inhibits the growth of Staphylococcus aureus by 99 % at a concentration of 0,5-1 %.

Grapeseed oil is obtained from the seeds of ripe grapes. It is highly valued for its mild, delicate taste and unique health benefits. Producing one litre of oil requires up to 50 kg of red grape seeds. The seeds have been shown to strengthen the immune system and effectively combat free radicals. The oil contains active substances such as fats, vitamins A, B, C, E and F, and omega-3, omega-6 and omega-9 unsaturated fatty acids. Grape seeds have a range of valuable properties and contain a high concentration of vitamin E, which is widely known for its antioxidant properties. Thanks to its high content of polyunsaturated fatty acids (up to 76 % linoleic acid), the oil prevents inflammation. Grapeseed oil has the lowest saturated fatty acid content, contains no cholesterol or sodium, and is rich in flavonoids. Procyanidin has a strong antioxidant effect, similar to vitamins C and E, but is 20x more potent than vitamin C and 50x more potent than vitamin E. This natural oil is cold-pressed from grape seeds, preserving its bioactive compounds, including polyphenols with anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. It is a by-product of the wine industry, making it environmentally sustainable.

Grapeseed oil moisturises the skin thanks to its lightweight texture and essential fatty acids, such as linoleic acid (up to 76 %), which restores the skin barrier and prevents moisture loss. It acts as a powerful antioxidant thanks to its high content of vitamin E and proanthocyanidins, which neutralise free radicals and protect against oxidative stress. It has anti-inflammatory and soothing effects, reduces redness and supports healing. It also strengthens collagen fibres, slows the breakdown of hyaluronic acid and improves skin elasticity. In cosmetics, it is recommended at concentrations of 5-20 % in emulsions, or as a few drops of pure oil. Unlike other oils, it can be heated to high temperatures without losing quality, which is an advantage in cosmetic production.

It is particularly recommended for oily, combination, acne-prone, sensitive, dehydrated and mature skin, as it absorbs quickly, does not clog pores and regulates sebum production. Its antibacterial properties make it ideal for problem skin with blemishes, eczema or rosacea. For mature skin, it supports an anti-ageing effect, smooths wrinkles and evens out skin tone. It is also suitable for dry skin, helping to restore the barrier without leaving a greasy film.

A study published in the Journal of Medicinal Food (2009) showed that taking grape seed extract orally at a dose of 194 mg daily significantly improved the symptoms of melasma (hyperpigmentation) after 60 days in women with dark skin. Further research in Phytotherapy Research (2011) showed that topical application of grapeseed oil at a concentration of 3 % increased collagen synthesis by 22 % in fibroblast cells after 7 days in vitro. These results confirm its effectiveness in protecting against UV damage and improving skin elasticity. Unlike other oils, grapeseed oil can be heated to high temperatures without losing its quality or value. It contains essential nutrients, such as vitamins and trace elements. B vitamins and minerals such as phosphorus, potassium, calcium and magnesium are the most abundant. The oil has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects. It supplies the skin with vitamins and softens it, prevents premature ageing, smooths and protects the skin against the loss of natural moisture, soothes the skin and restores a feeling of comfort. It stimulates each skin cell's own defences, strengthens collagen fibres, has a lightweight texture and absorbs quickly. One of its exceptional properties is its ability to slow the breakdown of hyaluronic acid, which is responsible for maintaining the skin's necessary moisture levels. Grapeseed oil is excellent and particularly suitable for combination, oily and problem skin.

This pale yellow fat is obtained by pressing fermented, dried, roasted and crushed cocoa beans and pulp, known as the food of the gods. This natural product is rich in vitamin E and provides minerals and other substances, including manganese, zinc, copper, theobromine, iron, chromium, magnesium, potassium, and omega-6 and omega-9 fatty acids. Saturated fatty acids make up most of its composition (57 – 64 %), giving it exceptional emollient properties. In traditional medicine, it was used for various purposes, from wound healing to pain relief, and today it is a staple ingredient in natural cosmetics thanks to its purity and minimal processing.

Its main action is to intensely moisturise and restore the skin barrier, with saturated fatty acids such as stearic and palmitic acid forming a protective film that prevents moisture loss. It also acts as an antioxidant thanks to vitamin E and polyphenols, which neutralise free radicals and protect against oxidative stress. It supports collagen production, helping to prevent wrinkles and other signs of ageing. It soothes irritated skin, reduces inflammation and speeds up regeneration. At concentrations of 5-20 % in emulsions, it significantly improves hydration and elasticity. A clinical study showed that applying a formulation containing 10 % increased skin hydration by 25 % after 4 weeks (Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2018).

It is particularly recommended for dry, dehydrated, sensitive and mature skin, where it effectively tackles flaking and loss of elasticity. It is ideal for skin affected by atopic dermatitis, eczema and burns, where it soothes itching and supports healing. It is also suitable for oily skin at low concentrations, as a lip balm or applied locally to dry areas, without clogging pores. It is not recommended in high concentrations for acne-prone skin because of its comedogenicity. Traditional uses include treating dry lips, rheumatism and insect bites, as documented in historical records from Amazonian cultures.

Another study confirmed that cocoa butter at a concentration of 15 % reduced transepidermal water loss by 30 % and improved elasticity by 18 % in women with dry skin after 6 weeks (International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2015). These polyphenolic compounds contribute to its anti-inflammatory effect, with a 22 % reduction in inflammation in in vitro tests (Food Chemistry, 2012).

This natural emulsifying ingredient is derived from a combination of sorbitol, a sugar alcohol, and fatty acids from sunflower oil. It is a biodegradable ingredient of natural origin, approved under the COSMOS standard and suitable for eco-friendly cosmetics. It has a wax-like structure and comes in ivory-coloured flakes with a melting point between 65 and 75°C. Its dual chemical nature combines a lipophilic part (fatty acids from oil) and a hydrophilic part (the polyalcohol group of sorbitol), allowing it to act as an effective bridge between oil and water components in cosmetic formulations.

This ingredient works by forming stable water-in-oil emulsions that mimic the skin’s natural lipid barrier. It improves hydration and helps the skin retain moisture, restoring and strengthening its protective function. At a concentration of 5 to 7,5 per cent, it acts as a primary emulsifier, while at lower levels of 1 to 2 per cent, it works as a co-emulsifier. Its moisturising action is supported by emollient properties that leave the skin feeling soft and comfortable without greasiness. The ingredient also improves the absorption of other active ingredients by creating an ordered crystal structure within the emulsion.

This ingredient is ideal for people with dry, sensitive or dehydrated skin. Its gentle, non-irritating nature also makes it suitable for very sensitive and young skin. Research findings confirm its safety and effectiveness in cosmetic applications. It is non-comedogenic, meaning it does not clog pores or contribute to acne. Products containing this ingredient have natural-origin credentials, are suitable for vegans and meet halal cosmetic requirements.

Clinical experience has shown that emulsions formulated with 8 per cent of this ingredient in combination with a 50 per cent oil phase provide a soft, rich texture that absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy feel. Enriched formulations with a higher oil content (60 per cent) and 10 per cent of this ingredient create richer creams that absorb at a moderate rate and are suitable for caring for dry skin in winter. Its ability to improve resistance to being washed off by water makes it particularly suitable for sunscreens and water-resistant cosmetic products.

It is obtained by cold-pressing apricot kernels. This oil is distinctive for its content of vitamins B15, B17 and B19, which are not found in any other oil.

It also contains vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12, B15, B17 (laetrile), B19, A, C and F. Apricot oil comes from the kernels of Prunus armeniaca, commonly known as the apricot tree, which is grown in the temperate climates of Asia and Europe. Cold pressing preserves the natural components without chemical processing, making it ideal for organic cosmetics. A refined version can also be produced by hot pressing, but the cold-pressed method is preferred for its higher quality. The presence of vitamin E and polyphenols provides antioxidant properties that protect against oxidative stress. Potassium supports hydration and the skin's mineral balance.

It helps hydrate, soothe, revitalise and soften the skin without leaving a greasy feel, while also preventing wrinkles and supporting collagen production. Its moisturising action comes from essential fatty acids, which restore the skin barrier and prevent transepidermal water loss. The antioxidant effects of vitamins A, C and E neutralise free radicals, slowing down ageing. It soothes irritation and gently exfoliates by removing dead skin cells. Vitamin B17 (amygdalin) has anti-inflammatory properties. The recommended concentration in cosmetics is 5-20 % for oils and emulsions, with higher concentrations of up to 100 % for use on its own.

Its gentle nature makes it suitable for all skin types. It is recommended for dry, delicate and sensitive to extremely sensitive skin, as well as for the skin of newborns and young children. It is ideal for dry, dehydrated, sensitive and mature skin, which it hydrates and regenerates. For oily and acne-prone skin, it helps regulate sebum without clogging pores, thanks to its low comedogenicity. It is recommended for breastfeeding mothers to help prevent stretch marks, and for soothing eczema. In children's skincare, it reduces the risk of irritation.

A study published in the Journal of Cosmetic Science (2014) demonstrated that applying apricot oil at a concentration of 10 % increased skin hydration by 25 % after 4 weeks in women with dry skin (Dimitrios et al., 2014). Further research in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences (2019) showed that linoleic acid from the oil improved collagen synthesis by 18 % in vitro (Lin et al., 2019).

Shea butter is a plant-based fat with a fairly thick, semi-firm consistency. It is obtained from the nuts of the shea tree, also known as karité. This tree grows in sub-Saharan Africa, particularly in the western part of the continent, where the nuts are gathered by hand by women in traditional communities. Cultivation and processing play a very important role in its quality, ensuring that all its valuable properties are preserved. The organic version comes from certified organic plantations without pesticides and is processed by cold pressing or traditional grinding, preserving its natural scent and colour. It contains a high proportion of vitamins A, E and F. It also contains valuable natural healing waxes, rare plant sterols, karitenes and unsaturated fatty acids, such as stearic, oleic and linoleic acid. Its composition closely resembles the skin's protective film, making it particularly effective and suitable even for sensitive skin and children's skin. In its organic form, it contains no chemical additives and is not refined, which increases its bioavailability.

It regulates sebum production, helps prevent clogged pores and reduces redness, making it ideal for acne-prone skin without the risk of clogging pores (comedogenic rating 0).

Clinical studies confirm the effectiveness of essential fatty acids from hemp oil in chronic inflammatory skin conditions. For example, applying hemp oil with GLA (1-4 %) significantly improved hydration and reduced inflammation in patients with atopic eczema after 20 weeks (Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2005). Another study showed that topical application of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids (including ALA 18-20 %) reduced itching and dryness by 60 % in patients with psoriasis (British Journal of Dermatology, 2014).

Bicarbonate of soda was known as far back as ancient Egypt, around 3500 BC, where it was used in the form of natron, a natural mixture of sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate, mainly for mummifying the dead. Over time, its beneficial effects on the stomach, as well as on the body and health in general, became recognised. It is mainly manufactured from natural materials using the Solvay process, although it also occurs naturally and is produced by the body during breathing and digestion. Bicarbonate of soda has excellent skin-cleansing properties. It reduces inflammation and removes dead skin cells. It is great for tackling blackheads, as it can thoroughly cleanse pores. Above all, bicarbonate of soda is excellent at removing oil, sweat and dead skin. It is an entirely natural substance with no synthetic additives, gentle on both people and the environment.

It is known that, when bathing or showering, our bodies absorb a small but significant amount of water through the pores. Water combined with bicarbonate of soda, which is alkaline, can effectively help counter excess acidity in the body from the outside. Thanks to its antibacterial and antifungal properties, bicarbonate of soda removes underarm body odour as well as odours associated with fungal infections. Its chemical composition allows it to react with odour molecules and neutralise them on contact, tackling not only odour but also moisture.

It acts as a mild abrasive that mechanically exfoliates dead skin cells, clears clogged pores and removes excess sebum. Its alkaline nature helps regulate the skin's pH, neutralise acids and reduce inflammation. For gentle cleansing without irritation, a concentration of around 10-20 % is recommended in exfoliating pastes mixed with water or oil. It absorbs impurities and sweat, helping to restore the skin's balance. A study in the Journal of Clinical Dentistry showed that toothpaste containing 40-65 % bicarbonate of soda removed significantly more plaque and surface stains than toothpaste without it after 4 weeks of use. Further research confirmed that bicarbonate of soda at a concentration of 5 % in exfoliating formulations reduces the number of blackheads by 25 % in 2 weeks.

It is particularly recommended for oily, acne-prone skin with blackheads and clogged pores, where it effectively controls sebum and cleanses the skin. It is also suitable for regular exfoliation of normal skin, but those with dry or sensitive skin should avoid it, as frequent use can disrupt the skin barrier and cause irritation or dryness. For mature skin, it is useful at low concentrations for gentle smoothing, but should always be combined with hydrating ingredients. Do not use daily; ideally, use in scrubs 1-2x a week.

100 % natural vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant containing a blend of alpha, beta, gamma and delta tocopherols. Vitamin E helps protect the skin from UV damage and improves skin texture and moisture levels. Our natural vitamin E contains no chemicals or solvents. Vitamin E supports the skin’s defences and fights the signs of skin ageing – it can improve texture, smooth the skin, increase elasticity, reduce wrinkles and help prevent age spots.

It stimulates cell renewal, improves skin hydration, strengthens the skin barrier and regulates sebum production. Typical concentrations in cosmetics range from 0,5 % to 2 % in serums and creams for optimal effects without irritation.

It is particularly recommended for oily, acne-prone and blemish-prone skin with enlarged pores, sensitive skin prone to inflammation, eczema or dermatitis, and mature skin showing signs of ageing. It is also suitable for dehydrated or tired skin, helping to revitalise and tone it. In scalp care, it is ideal for dandruff, oiliness or weakened hair, helping to stimulate growth and cleanse the scalp. Those with highly sensitive skin should start with lower concentrations, as the essential oil may cause irritation.

Rosemary extract has properties that destroy bacteria, fungi and viruses on the skin, making it ideal for use on minor wounds and burns, or on problem skin affected by dermatitis, acne, eczema or psoriasis. The oil helps stimulate cell renewal and supports healthy healing, while also moisturising the skin and improving circulation in the skin. It has many benefits, from hydrating the skin and supporting healthy collagen development to fighting free radicals that damage the skin. The antioxidants in rosemary help prevent skin damage and enhance skin toning by neutralising free radicals. Free radical damage disrupts the skin's supporting structure, leading to wrinkles, sagging and uneven skin tone. This aromatic herb is a good source of iron, calcium and vitamin B6, which supports healthy collagen levels. Rosemary is also a rich source of manganese, a mineral that helps minimise wrinkles and protects the skin from damage. Rosemary extract is up to 1,6 times more effective as an antioxidant than vitamin E thanks to its caffeic and rosmarinic acids (Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2001). Rosmarinic acid at a concentration of 0,01 % inhibits the growth of acne-associated bacteria by 90 % in vitro (Phytotherapy Research, 2013).

It is obtained from the tea tree, which grows in Australia. The oil has a thin, watery consistency and a pale, slightly yellow colour. Tea tree extracts can help rid the skin of various types of inflammation and infection. This makes it suitable for treating acne or cold sores. It also helps heal cuts, insect bites, burns and sunburn. This essential oil is obtained by distilling the leaves and branch tips of a tree native to the Australian coast of New South Wales and Queensland. It is a 100% plant-based organic extract without synthetic additives, known for its strong, eucalyptus-like aroma. Indigenous peoples have used it for centuries in traditional Australian medicine to disinfect wounds and prevent infections. Today, it is grown organically to preserve its natural properties and is highly concentrated, so it is always diluted with a carrier oil.

It is used as a powerful **antibacterial** and **anti-inflammatory** agent that kills bacteria, viruses and fungi without damaging the surrounding healthy skin. It **soothes** irritation, **stimulates wound healing** by supporting cell regeneration and **restores the skin barrier**. It also has **antioxidant** effects that protect against free radicals. It can also achieve excellent results in treating fungal infections of the nails or skin on the feet. Tea tree essential oil is highly effective at stimulating the immune system. It also effectively kills various bacteria, viruses and fungi. It relieves and soothes most symptoms associated with skin irritation or infections. In cosmetics, it is used at a concentration of 1-5 % in formulations, with a 5 % gel containing this oil significantly reducing the number of acne lesions.

It is particularly recommended for **acne-prone**, **oily** and **blemish-prone skin**, where it regulates sebum production and minimises pores. It is also ideal for **sensitive skin** prone to inflammation, cold sores or eczema, as well as **dehydrated** or **damaged skin** following burns and bites. It is suitable for adults with **mature skin**, where it supports healing and helps prevent infections. Do not use undiluted on the face of children or pregnant women; always dilute it and carry out a patch test.

A clinical study from 1990 showed that a gel containing 5 % tea tree oil reduced the total number of acne lesions by 43,6 % and inflammatory lesions by 40,5 % after 45 days of treatment in patients with mild to moderate acne (Journal of Family Practice, 1990). Further research confirmed that, at a concentration of 5 %, it has an antibacterial effect against Propionibacterium acnes comparable to that of 5 % benzoyl peroxide, but with less redness (Australasian Journal of Dermatology, 1995).
