Zinc oil

Japanese: チンク油 - ちんくゆ(英語表記)zinc oil
Zinc oil

A mixed preparation of equal amounts of zinc oxide and vegetable oil. In the past, olive oil was used as the vegetable oil, and it was called zinc oxide oleaf oil. Nowadays, soybean oil and rapeseed oil are commonly used as the vegetable oil. It is a white or off-white muddy substance that separates if left to stand for a long time. It is used for minor skin diseases such as sores and diaper rash, and for minor burns. The astringent and drying properties of zinc oxide are utilized to protect damaged skin surfaces with vegetable oil. In addition, Acrinol Tincture Oil and Compound Acrinol Tincture Oil, which contain added acrinol, are listed as preparations in the Japanese Pharmacopoeia.
