Lacto Calamine

Lacto Calamine is a topical skincare lotion manufactured by Piramal Healthcare (Consumer Products Division). It is an over-the-counter product formulated for oily and combination skin types. The product's mechanism of action involves a combination of ingredients: kaolin clay, which adsorbs excess sebum; zinc oxide, which provides antibacterial and mild astringent properties to help unclog pores; and glycerin, which acts as a humectant to maintain skin hydration. It is primarily used to manage acne, pimples, blackheads, and dark spots while maintaining a non-greasy moisture balance. The lotion is water-based and typically paraben-free, intended for daily topical application to the face.
