Our body has approximately around 2-3 grams of zinc, 5% of which is found in the skin, being up to 6 times more concentrated in the epidermis (outer layer) than in the dermis (inner layer).
Although a variety of tissues in our body contain it, zinc has important functions for the skin: it helps keep the skin flora in balance and protects skin through its antioxidant action. What’s more, zinc helps protect our skin from UV radiation and improves wound healing.
That’s why zinc is an element that’s especially suitable for keeping our skin healthy.
