Professional Description
Packora Calamine Powder is a pharmaceutical-grade blend of Zinc Oxide and a trace of Ferric Oxide, giving it its iconic pale pink hue. Refined to USP/BP standards, our Calamine is an "impalpable" fine powder—ensuring a smooth, non-gritty texture in professional cosmetic and medicinal formulations.
