Abstract
Calamine lotion is a popular antiseptic and skin protectant, known for its cooling and soothing effects. This study investigates the possibility of formulating calamine lotion with natural humectants, such as aloe vera gel and vitamin E, instead of semi-synthetic alternatives like glycerine. Herbal cosmetics are widely used to improve skin appearance and health. The objective of this research is to evaluate the moisturizing and emollient properties of natural humectants compared to glycerine, determining their suitability in calamine lotion. Calamine lotion is also recognized for its anti-itch properties, commonly used for treating skin conditions with minimal adverse reactions. While calamine consists of zinc oxide and ferric chloride, the specific ingredient responsible for rare allergic reactions remains unidentified.
