Calamine Soap: The Solution for Oily and Acne-Prone Skin

What is Calamine?

Calamine solution has been widely used as a trusted treatment for chickenpox and sunburn. It is a key ingredient reviewed and approved for safety by the US FDA. Calamine is a mineral compound primarily composed of over 99% Zinc Oxide with a small amount of Ferric Oxide (Iron Oxide), and it is insoluble in water.

How Does Calamine Affect the Skin?

The reason Calamine lotion is used for conditions like chickenpox and sunburn is often misunderstood. The actual cooling sensation that relieves itchiness and stinging comes from the evaporation of the water in the liquid formulation (Calamine Powder + Water), not from the Calamine itself.

However, Calamine, being a water-insoluble mineral powder, is effective in its own right. Its microscopic pores absorb excess oil and secretions on the skin's surface. Furthermore, the high concentration of Zinc Oxide (over 99%) contributes to sterilization (antimicrobial action) and is believed to be involved in skin barrier regeneration, though the exact mechanism is still being studied.

How Can Calamine in Cosmetics Help Your Skin?

Due to the reasons above, it is a misconception that Calamine-infused cosmetics can actively cool down the skin's temperature.

Like all mineral powders, Calamine is excellent for absorbing excess sebum, making it ideal for oil control. In addition, thanks to the inherent properties of Calamine (and Zinc Oxide), it is expected to provide slight anti-inflammatory and regenerative effects. This is why cosmetic products containing Calamine are highly favored by people with oily and acne-prone skin.

Why We Use Calamine in Soap

When the Calamine powder is applied and rolled onto the skin, it effectively absorbs waste and impurities from the pores. The most definitive way to remove these impurities is through cleansing. Our product was specifically developed to allow Calamine to function most effectively by using an alkaline soap base to thoroughly wash away the oily film on the skin of oily-prone users.

Our Calamine 4% Formula

Our 'Day Ruutin Skincare Soap' gets its distinct, deep pink color because it contains a high concentration of 4% Calamine (40000 ppm). Since the soap is matured to allow water to evaporate before distribution, the actual Calamine concentration becomes even higher. This maximum permissible Calamine content, added without compromising the soap's texture, is why our Calamine soap is named a Skincare Soap.
