Default Zinc oxide for anti-itch

Hi,

-->> I use a generic diaper rash cream from the grocery store for itching because it is 40% zinc oxide. It works great.
The cream I use is white -- it works in areas covered by clothes.
(And zinc is good for some people with bipolar.)

But tonight I started looking up the inactive ingredients.

I think I need to find a new product because one of the ingredients is iffy.

According to the link I left above, Rite Aid has a zinc product that is safe.

But no Rite Aids near me.


-->> I wonder how the tea tree products would work.


-->> I could call/go to the health food store near me and ask if they have any zinc creams. I will still have to check each ingredient.......can't trust the health food ingredients 100% either.
