Wonder Zinc Healthy Glow Barrier Cream is a zinc oxide barrier cream that comforts and protects irritated, rash-prone skin to reduce itchy, flaky, scratched, red, bumpy, or even the little one’s nappy rash. This award-winning zinc barrier cream contains non-nano zinc oxide, the gold standard for skin barrier protection, combined with Australian native superfruits, including Kakadu Plum and Elderberry Extract.
Developed by Karen Fischer, a qualified nutritionist with over 20 years of clinical experience treating eczema patients, Wonder Zinc creates a protective barrier that shields irritated skin from environmental triggers while supporting natural healing. Unlike the many zinc creams for the face that contain olive oil, Wonder Zinc uses organic Camellia Seed Oil – a hypoallergenic alternative rich in omega-3 and vitamin E.
Do you have cuts that won't heal or are slow to mend? Use Wonder Zinc to speed recovery and prevent scarring, or use it to minimise older scars, including acne scars.
Awarded Best Barrier Cream in the Green Beauty Category for the Prevention Beauty Awards 2024, this soothing cream supports long-lasting barrier protection and reduces the appearance of redness and irritation, and speeds up the recovery process.
Because calm, glowy, comfortable skin should be your everyday normal.
Why Choose This Eczema Treatment Cream?
Wonder Zinc is a natural eczema cream delivering 5 measurable benefits for eczema-prone and sensitive skin:
All Ages & Skin Tones
Look invisible on all skin tones; for adults, children, pregnant women, and bubs with nappy rash.
Repairs Skin Barrier
Non-nano zinc oxide particles sit on the stratum corneum, creating a physical barrier that reduces transepidermal water loss (TEWL). Panthenol (provitamin B5) supports keratinocyte regeneration to rebuild compromised skin.
Reduces Inflammation
Elderberry fruit extract contains quercetin, a flavonoid that calms inflammatory cytokine activity. Organic seaweed (bladderwrack) delivers fucoidan to balance skin microbiome and reduce redness within 48-72 hours.
Protects from Irritants
Zinc oxide creates an occlusive barrier against environmental triggers, including dust, pollen, and harsh weather. The formula contains no fragrance, no essential oils, and no common allergens that trigger eczema flares.
Soothes Itch Without Steroids
The zinc oxide cooling effect provides immediate itch relief without topical corticosteroids. Safe for daily use on face and body, including around eyes and on infants with nappy rash.
Supports Natural Healing
Kakadu Plum delivers the highest natural concentration of vitamin C (up to 100x more than oranges) to support collagen synthesis and accelerate wound healing. Organic Camellia Seed Oil provides squalene and vitamin E for cellular repair.
How Our All-Natural Eczema Cream Protects Skin
Zinc oxide (ZnO) creates a physical barrier on the skin's surface that shields damaged tissue from environmental irritants. Unlike chemical absorbers that penetrate skin layers, zinc oxide particles sit on top of the stratum corneum – the outermost layer of your epidermis, where they reflect UV rays and block irritant contact.
Wonder Zinc uses non-nano zinc oxide particles (larger than 100 nanometres). Non-nano particles cannot penetrate the skin barrier, making them safe for use on broken, cracked, or compromised skin.
This matters for eczema sufferers whose skin barrier function is already impaired.
The Science of Skin Barrier Repair
Eczema-affected skin loses moisture through transepidermal water loss (TEWL).
Studies show zinc oxide reduces TEWL by creating an occlusive layer that traps moisture within the epidermis. Combined with panthenol (provitamin B5) in Wonder Zinc, this dual action repairs the lipid matrix while protecting it from further damage.
Zinc also delivers antimicrobial protection. Eczema skin is more susceptible to bacterial colonisation, particularly Staphylococcus aureus. Zinc oxide inhibits bacterial growth without disrupting the beneficial skin microbiome, supporting clearer, calmer skin over time.
Wonder Zinc Key Ingredients
Organic Camellia Seed Oil
Camellia seed oil is a rich source of squalene, vitamin E, and omega-3 fatty acids. Unlike olive oil (used in 80% of skin products), camellia oil rarely triggers allergic reactions and absorbs without leaving a greasy residue. This makes it suitable for facial eczema and oily-combination skin types.
Organic Seaweed (Bladderwrack)
Bladderwrack seaweed contains fucoidan, a polysaccharide that reduces skin redness and supports microbiome balance. A balanced skin microbiome is critical for eczema management, as dysbiosis contributes to flare cycles.
Natural Non-Nano Zinc Oxide
Zinc oxide is the foundation of this barrier cream. Non-nano particles (>100nm) remain on the skin surface, creating physical protection without systemic absorption. This makes Wonder
Zinc is safe for use on broken skin, around the eyes, and on infants.
Elderberry Fruit Extract
Elderberry delivers quercetin, a flavonoid with anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. In Karen Fischer's clinical experience, elderberry-based formulations reduce skin redness within 48-72 hours of first application. Quercetin also minimises pore appearance and supports skin clarity.
Kakadu Plum
This Australian native superfruit contains the highest natural vitamin C concentration of any fruit, up to 100 times more than oranges.
Vitamin C supports collagen synthesis, which is essential for rebuilding damaged skin tissue and
reducing the appearance of scars.
Panthenol (Provitamin B5)
Panthenol penetrates the skin and converts to pantothenic acid, which supports keratinocyte proliferation and lipid barrier restoration. Clinical studies show panthenol improves skin hydration and reduces TEWL, making it essential for compromised eczema skin.
How to Use Wonder Zinc Face Cream
Facial skin requires gentler application than body skin. Wonder Zinc absorbs without leaving a white cast, making it suitable for all skin tones.
Application steps for zinc cream for skin:
- Cleanse face with lukewarm water (hot water strips natural oils).
- Pat skin dry with a soft towel. Do not rub.
- Apply a pea-sized amount of Wonder Zinc to affected areas.
- Gently press (do not rub) into the periorbital area, cheeks, or perioral zones.
- Allow 2-3 minutes to absorb before applying makeup or sunscreen.
Wonder Zinc is safe for use around the eyes. The non-nano zinc oxide formula will not migrate into the eyes or cause stinging on sensitive periorbital skin.
Apply Wonder Zinc liberally to affected body areas, including arms, legs, torso, and hands. For widespread eczema, apply after bathing while skin is still slightly damp to lock in moisture.
Reapply 2-3 times daily or as needed for itch relief. Wonder Zinc works as a protective barrier during flare-ups and as a maintenance cream between flares.
Consistent daily itchy face and body treatment supports long-term skin barrier resilience.
For Nappy Rash in Infants
Wonder Zinc is formulated for infant skin. The non-nano zinc oxide creates a moisture barrier that protects against nappy rash while allowing skin to breathe.
Application for eczema diaper rash cream:
- Clean and dry the nappy area thoroughly.
- Apply a thick layer of Wonder Zinc to create a protective barrier.
- Reapply at each nappy change until the rash clears.
The formula contains no fragrance or essential oils that could irritate infant skin. Suitable from
birth.
For Cuts, Wounds, and Acne Scars
Zinc oxide supports wound healing by creating a protective environment and reducing bacterial contamination. Apply Wonder Zinc to slow-healing cuts, minor wounds, or post-acne marks to accelerate recovery and minimise scarring.
The vitamin C from Kakadu Plum supports collagen synthesis, helping skin rebuild with minimal scarring. Apply daily to healing wounds or established scars for best results.
