Pharmacology
Calamine has a mild astringent action and also helps relieve itching. Zinc oxide is astringent too, and it soothes and protects the skin, so it's used in topical preparations for eczema, slight excoriations, wounds and haemorrhoids. It reflects ultraviolet radiation as well, which means it can work as a physical sunscreen.
