Question

Can Zinc Lactate be mixed directly with water for skin application, and what is the recommended usage percentage for this purpose?

Answer

Zinc Lactate for Skin Application

Based on the product information available, Zinc Lactate is a water-soluble ingredient primarily intended for oral care products such as mouthwash, sprays, toothpaste, candy, and gum. It is used for benefits related to the oral cavity, like reducing plaque and bacteria.

The product description does not indicate that Zinc Lactate is suitable or recommended for direct application to the skin when mixed only with water, or for use in skin formulations.

The recommended usage rates provided (typically 0.1-1.0%) are specifically for oral care applications.

Therefore, based on the available data, we cannot recommend mixing Zinc Lactate directly with water for skin application or provide a recommended ratio for this purpose, as it is not the intended use of this product according to its description.
