What is Zinc Oxide?

Zinc oxide, the active ingredient in Labisan, is a sunscreen presented as a topical formulation for external use. It provides broad‑spectrum protection against ultraviolet radiation and is intended for use on healthy skin to prevent sun‑induced damage.

GNH USA supplies Labisan as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving pharmacies and clinics worldwide.

What is Zinc Oxide used for?

Labisan, a zinc‑oxide based sunscreen, is used to protect the skin from ultraviolet radiation. - Sun protection: helps prevent erythema and sunburn caused by UV exposure. - Prevention of UV‑induced skin damage: reduces risk of photodamage and premature aging. - Adjunct to dermatologic procedures: provides a physical barrier during post‑procedure care to limit UV‑related irritation.

What are the side effects of Zinc Oxide?

Topical application of zinc‑oxide sunscreen may be associated with certain local reactions.

Common Side Effects: - Skin irritation: mild redness or itching at the application site. - Dryness: temporary feeling of tightness or flaking. - Contact dermatitis: allergic response in sensitive individuals.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Severe allergic reaction: swelling, hives, or difficulty breathing. - Persistent rash: lesions that do not resolve after discontinuation. - Eye irritation: if product contacts the ocular surface.

What precautions apply to Zinc Oxide?

When using Labisan, consider the following precautions to ensure safe and effective use. - Application area: apply a thin, even layer to all exposed skin 15 minutes before sun exposure. - Re‑application: repeat every two hours, or after swimming, sweating, or towel drying. - Sensitive skin: perform a patch test on a small area before full use. - Children: supervise use in children under six months; consult a healthcare professional. - Storage: Store at room temperature below 25 °C: keep in original container, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

What does Zinc Oxide interact with?

Zinc oxide may interact with certain products applied to the skin.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Chemical sunscreens: may reduce overall UV protection when layered improperly. - Topical medications: can diminish absorption of prescription creams such as corticosteroids.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Antiperspirants: may cause uneven film formation, affecting efficacy. - Skin care oils: excessive oil can alter the uniformity of the zinc‑oxide layer. - Cosmetic powders: may cause clumping, reducing coverage.

Frequently asked questions

What is Labisan used for?+
Labisan is a topical sunscreen that contains zinc oxide. It is applied to the skin to provide broad‑spectrum protection against UVA and UVB radiation, helping to prevent sunburn, photodamage, and premature skin aging caused by exposure to sunlight.
How does zinc oxide work in Labisan?+
Zinc oxide works as a physical UV filter. The mineral particles sit on the surface of the skin and reflect or scatter ultraviolet photons, blocking them from penetrating the epidermis. This mechanical barrier reduces the amount of UV energy that can cause cellular damage.
What is the usual dose of Labisan?+
The amount of Labisan to apply is determined by the prescriber or product label. Generally, a thin, even layer covering all exposed areas is recommended about 15 minutes before sun exposure, with re‑application every two hours or after swimming, sweating, or towel drying.
Is Labisan safe to use during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Zinc oxide is minimally absorbed through intact skin, and topical use is generally considered low risk. However, safety data specific to pregnancy and lactation are limited, so pregnant or nursing individuals should consult their healthcare provider before using Labisan.
How do I order Labisan from GNH USA?+
Enquiries for Labisan are submitted via the product page on gnh-usa.com, where you specify the required quantity. GNH USA supplies hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.
How does Labisan compare with chemical sunscreens?+
Labisan uses zinc oxide, an inorganic filter that physically blocks UV radiation, whereas chemical sunscreens absorb UV light and convert it to heat. Zinc oxide offers broad‑spectrum protection with a lower risk of allergic reactions and is suitable for sensitive skin, but it may leave a slight white cast on the skin.
How should Labisan be stored and handled?+
Store Labisan at room temperature below 25 °C, in its original packaging, protected from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep the container tightly closed when not in use to maintain product integrity and prevent contamination.
How is Labisan applied?+
Apply Labisan to clean, dry skin. Use a sufficient amount to cover all exposed areas, spreading it evenly in a thin layer. Apply at least 15 minutes before anticipated sun exposure and re‑apply regularly, especially after water exposure, heavy sweating, or towel drying.
What are the most serious risks associated with Labisan?+
While rare, serious adverse reactions can include severe allergic responses such as swelling, hives, or difficulty breathing. If any signs of a systemic allergic reaction occur, discontinue use immediately and seek medical attention.
Who should not use Labisan?+
Individuals with a known hypersensitivity to zinc oxide or any other ingredient in the formulation should avoid Labisan. Children younger than six months should not use it without medical advice, and anyone experiencing persistent skin irritation after application should discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
