Calamine Powder USP

Calamine Powder USP is a fine, light pink powder primarily composed of zinc oxide and a small percentage of ferric oxide, which gives it its characteristic pink color. It is an inorganic compound widely used in pharmaceutical and cosmetic formulations due to its soothing, antiseptic, and astringent properties. Calamine Powder is commonly applied topically to relieve itching, minor skin irritations, insect bites, rashes, and sunburn. It acts by forming a protective barrier on the skin, reducing inflammation and providing a mild cooling effect.

Cellulose Ether

 Cellulose ether refers to a group of chemically modified cellulose derivatives where hydroxyl groups on the cellulose backbone are substituted with ether groups such as methyl, hydroxyethyl, or carboxymethyl groups. These modifications improve solubility, viscosity, and film-forming properties while maintaining biodegradability and non-toxicity. Cellulose ethers are white to off-white powders or granules that dissolve in water to form viscous, stable solutions. They are widely used as thickeners, binders, stabilizers, and film formers in industries such as construction, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food, and paper.
