OTC Skincare & Wellness Products Offer Solutions

For perplexing issues like acneeczema and thinning hair, the OTC personal care marketplace delivers on-demand care for consumers—typically without any professional medical intervention. That’s not to say doctors and dermatologists aren’t suggesting consumers try over-the-counter remedies first. Often, these products can provide relief and, with consistent use, can alleviate issues without the need for a prescription.

Eczema is another major skin issue that has consumers of all ages seeking relief. In fact, a recent survey of 1,000 participants found that 41% of Americans either have or have someone in their household with eczema. What’s more, consumers increasingly want relief without the use of steroids, which are often prescribed by doctors to quell the angry redness, pain and itch that comes from this condition. 

When it comes to OTC treatments, there are a host of tried and true remedies, many of which have storied histories. Take, for example, Zincuta Ointment, a treatment initially crafted by Dr. Josiah C. Case (1865-1930). Case’s ointment was said to soothe and heal damaged, irritated skin—chafes, burns, sun burns, abrasions, raw sores, insect bites, psoriasis, eczema and poison ivy.

The modern-day Zincuta all-natural healing ointment, hand-crafted in Collierville, TN, is based on the original and contains zinc oxide, axungia (which is high in oleic and linoleic acids), styrax benzoin, beeswax, slippery elm bark, wintergreen, lavender and bergamot.

Whether a premium brand or a historically-based, hand-crafted formulation, OTC remedies can help consumers find relief they need.
