ZINC BARRIER BALM
Protective Zinc Balm for Dry, Sensitive & Reactive Skin
When your skin is cracked, sore and struggling, this is the balm I'd reach for.
Our bestselling Zinc Barrier Balm is a rich, protective balm created for dry, sensitive, reactive and flare-prone skin.Made with zinc oxide, bentonite clay, jojoba oil, cocoa butter and our five-herb infused olive oil, it creates a protective layer over vulnerable skin when your skin needs extra support. Originally created with Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW) skin in mind, it has become a go-to for customers looking for simple, targeted barrier support during difficult skin days.
Fragrance-free • Vegan • Steroid-free • Made in the UK
Description:
This balm was created for those going through Topical Steroid Withdrawal, to help dry ooze during the withdrawal stage and help heal red lesions. This treatment balm is a blend of pharmaceutical-grade Zinc Oxide(30%) with other healing oils and butters. Zinc forces skin regeneration so it is good for rashes, scars, minor skin irritations, and eczema. Bentonite is great for detoxing the skin it helps absorbs and remove toxins.
Ingredients:
Zinc Oxide, Bentonite, Ricinus communis seed (castor) oil, Olea europaea fruit (olive) oil, Simmondsia chinensis (jojoba) seed oil, Theobroma cacao seed (cocoa) butter, Euphorbia cerifera cera candelilla wax, Althaea Officinalis (Marshmallow) root extract, Achillea millefolium (yarrow) extract, Plantago lanceolata (plantain)leaf extract, Calendula officinalis flower extract, Symphytum officinale (comfrey)leaf extract
Directions:
Apply a small amount directly to coat the skin, after a bath and cover with clothing, socks, gloves, or gauze for optimal results. Best used at night. May stain clothing and furniture. For very dry areas that also need additional nourishment, pair with our Healing Balm
Who is our Zinc Balm for?
Our Zinc Barrier Balm has been created for people looking for extra support for:
•Dry, sensitive and reactive skin
•Very dry or cracked areas
•Flare-prone skin
•Skin affected by TSW
•Areas that need additional barrier protection
•Difficult skin days when your usual routine doesn't feel like enough
This isn't an everyday moisturiser. It's targeted barrier support for when your skin needs something more.
Why Zinc Oxide?
Zinc oxide sits on the surface of the skin, helping create a physical protective barrier between vulnerable skin and the outside environment. We've paired it with bentonite clay, nourishing plant oils and our signature five-herb infusion to create a rich balm designed for targeted use.
Please note: Zinc oxide naturally leaves a visible white cast. That's completely normal for this product.
This product is deemed safe by UK & EU cosmetic regulations.
TSW Zinc Calm has been one of the only products that actually soothed my TSW neck. Before, I had burning, stinging, oozing, and constant weeping. After using this, the redness went down, the skin calmed, and the irritation eased so much. It made such a difference during a really painful flare. Highly recommend.
Thank you for sharing this, and I’m really glad the TSW Zinc Balm brought you some relief. Thank you for trusting Derma Warrior during such a vulnerable part of your journey. We’re always here cheering you on.
This has helped me so much for drying out weeping areas , and healing wounds quicker. The photos attached I had a flare up , the skin was raw and would not stop weeping , I used the zinc balm for 2 nights and the second picture is what it looks like after that. I definitely believe it has healed that quick because of the balm, before I used it the wounds would take ages to close or dry up.
This product saved my life. It manages to remove the inflammation of my skin like no other product. I apply it in the evening and wake up in the morning with a different skin. Softer and it also seems much more resistant. It feels like a miracle. I thank the derma warriors team because I have tried many zinc creams but none have ever managed to help me like this one. And very little is needed. Thank you very much xxx
Thank you so much for your kind words! It truly means the world to us to hear how our TSW Zinc Balm has helped you. We know how tough the journey can be, and we’re so glad you’ve found relief.
I am 18 months into Topical Steroid Withdrawal and have taken several approaches throughout my healing journey. The most successful approach for me has been NMT (no moisturising treatment) whereby I have used very little or no moisturiser at all. Being 18 months in I decided to try my TSW Zinc Balm again as I was struggling with the heat which was exacerbating itchy/inflamed patches on my hands/arms/ankles and armpits! I was hesitant to add moisturiser in again but the TSW Zinc Balm is not so 'wet' and allows a protective barrier that offers enough drying/moisturising in one.
The TSW Zinc Balm in the space of one month (small amounts - twice daily) has given me the break I've been waiting for for some time and has reduced my itching and skin breaking habits which prolong healing. I would most definitely recommend this product to anyone needing relief from TSW 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟.
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a positive review for our TSW Zinc Balm. We are thrilled to hear that after 18 months of Topical Steroid Withdrawal, our product has provided you with much-needed relief from your symptoms.
Great product. Will be ordering again soon.
Life saving balm. Great customer service.
This is truly the best product for TSW. Thank you so, so much. Lifetime customer for sure!
I have been in TSW for almost two years now and have just ordered my second jar of this balm. I really couldn't have got to where I am now without this balm. It sounds cliché to say, but it feels like a bit of a miracle balm - I will never understand how it manages to sort out my raw, oozing skin in just days. While my skin is so much better than my early days of TSW, it is so nice to know I have this in the drawer for when I need it. I couldn't recommend it enough.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. We are beyond grateful to hear that our balm has played a part in your healing journey. It truly means the world to us.
This is the best zinc balm we've tried. Definitely brings much needed relief for our son. Gone through 2 120ml jars of this with a 3rd one to spare for any skin breakouts now.
It’s wonderful customers like you who remind us why we’re passionate about what we do. We’re here to support you and your family every step of the way.
I am going through Topical Steroid Withdrawal and bought this product to help with the oozing and I must say it works beautifully - beats uncomfortably lying for hours waiting for it to dry any day! Fast delivery and wonderful customer service too. Thank you 💛
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. We know how challenging TSW can be, and we’re so happy to hear that our product has been a helpful support for you, especially with the oozing and discomfort.
This product has helped my son so much through TSW. It's a game changer for weepy itchy area. It's the only thing he will allow me to apply to his skin.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. We're incredibly grateful to hear that our product has been helping your son through his TSW journey. Wishing your son continued relief and progress. Thank you for trusting us with his care.
So many things that used to be safe for me are no longer, including Sudocrem which now burns me, but this has been my saviour on the night after a scratch fest. I'm trying so hard not to, but like anyone going through TSW knows, it's hard, so I've been putting this on my arms and covering with tubular bandages and it's doing a world of good. It's also helping my hands and anywhere else I put it, so I wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone else suffering
Thank you so much for sharing your experience and for trusting us with your skin journey.
I love the TSW zinc balm it’s been a game changer for me. Having gone through TSW it’s really helped with oozy patches and reduce inflammation. I find it useful to apply before bed in my skin folds such as on my neck and I wake up less irritated. Thank you for such a fab product!
As my skin is so up and down in TSW it’s really hard for me to take photos for comparison but the balm has helped me so much. The zinc balm honestly provides some pain relief during red hot flares and I’ve found nothing else to do that except ice packs which only help temporarily. I find my skin gets to the healing stage of flaking quicker when I use the balm!
I really recommend the product for anyone struggling with inflamed burning flare ups. All the ingredients are amazing!
Thank you for sharing
My eczema has been rather aggressive since pollen season decided to go full on in the UK. And this pot gave me some much needed relief, reducing redness and helping dry out my skin (in a good way). I believe the zinc oxide in this product is the key healer for my skin. Great to use such a natural product on my super sensitive skin. Also love the fact that the shelf life is a year means I can use as liberally as needed for when those nasty flares hit!
I have Eczema and I now also have steroid withdrawal caused by relying on steroids and paraffin emollients. I have genuinely not been able to find relief with alternate Eczema products. My skin becomes irritated and inflamed. Safe to say I was scared to try even this balm , but it was an absolute relief on my sore patches. This beauty doesn’t sting and helps to provide that much needed relief Eczema and TSW skin craves. I wore the balm as a face mask and went to sleep. It was the first time in a long time I didn’t wake up to the usual scratches on my face. The team are wonderful and let you buy an affordable sample. Best decision for my skin, I genuinely can’t wait to stock up.
I have suffered with eczema since I was a baby but the last 4 years have been the worst, continuous infections and red inflamed weepy skin especially on my face. I reached out to derma warrior and asked if she sold samples so I could try her products, she responded really fast and sent the samples out the next day! I tried the zinc balm and over night it stopped the weeping and almost healed the areas of open skin, i then used the body balm & healing balm over the top which are both soothing and so moisturising, by day 3 my skin was glowing! I am going to purchase all 3 products and hope the results continue to show! Thank you so much Derma Warrior
Thank you for your kind words
This is supposed to be a really good product but unfortunately I had a big allergic reaction to it on my face & neck :(
I’ve been suffering from severe eczema for 5 months and it has medically prevented me from doing my job. Despite medication and steroid creams I was still getting flare ups. I’ve been using the Zinc cream on nights where I am not applying steroid cream. I am currently flare up free and as my skin now thicken, I am to transition to no steroid cream and just use the Zinc. Definitely feeling more positive that recovery is possible thanks to DermaWarrior products :)
I am in my 5th month of TSW and for several weeks the skin on my hands and arms has been paper thin, wet, peeling and oozing constantly. I have tried lots of other zinc creams and zinc bandages, but my arms have constantly been wet and sore and I’ve struggled to wear clothes over them. I tried the TSW zinc balm and within 2 days it’s has dried the raw patches of skin up and it’s stopped the oozing. My skin is feeling stronger and not peeling at the slightest scratch. I am very pleased and would definitely recommend this!

Thank you for your lovely review, I am glad you liked it Happy healing
This balm is truly amazing. I use it particularly when my skin is oozing or weeping. It absorbs the ooze and I feel so much less discomfort as a result. I’ve tried many zinc based creams prior to TSW balm but none of them compare to this one. Highly recommend!!
Thank you for your lovely review. We are so happy you were able to benefit from using this product.
I am so amazed by this TSW Zinc Balm! I am going through my second flare in TSW and my eyes have been really badly affected and nothing was helping to dry them and heal them. They kept oozing, crusting then soo itchy and raw again and did not heald for about 2 months. I have been using this balm for nearly a week and my eyes made massive progress! This consistency is absolutely amazing and it does not sting or feel itchy after applying it.
I can highly recommend for anyone having stubborn places while on TSW.
Thank you for making this amazing product!
The first zinc balm that felt soothing (unlike Sudocrem), made from natural ingredients so it doesn’t sting. This has been a must have product as part of my TSW journey and has helped to soothe and dry oozy lesions.
