White Winkle powder (let’s find some zinc oxide)

[benny]

After about a year of hearing friends sing the praises of “White Winkle”, I decided to order some and compare it to what I have been using for dampness protection, and healing: corn starch, wrinkle paste, neo-predef

After a few weeks I can report: Wow this stuff is awesome. It is spring and Millie has some mild itchies and the start of the same spots she had last year. In the last few weeks I’ve used it to heal the start of some hotspots, calm spring feet, keep tear wrinkles clean and dry, keep tail pocket clean and dry, heal sores on head and in ear caused by scratching.

Seems to work just as well as the neo-predef, and better than the wrinkle paste.

It is insanely expensive. It is made in Italy and I had to import it. Cost was about $55 for the large container.

The ingredients listed have me believing the only important one is the zinc oxide. (They are actually quite similar to those listed in Wrinkle Paste). So… does anyone have contacts for a zinc oxide powder supplier in the US?

@benny You can get zinc oxide powder, or ointment on Amazon.

Look at that “cosmetic grade” is pretty cheap.

I actually found a beef tallow based zinc oxide I used last summer on beau -- it worked pretty well and doubles as a sunscreen for humans

I'm still importing the white winkle. It's been working better than other zinc oxide ive found - so I've split what I had among friends and will continue to make bulk orders until we find something that works as well and easier to get ahold of...

I spoke to a pro handler last week. He uses Desitin ointment on his dogs for the tear stains. It's in the baby section of stores. When I was a pediatric nurse, we recommended this for diaper rash, which was often yeast infections. (Why I didn't think of this earlier???) I'm trying it out. Zinc oxide is the main ingredient, 40%.

Seems worth trying. I like the idea of the powder, but it's probably not great to flake around the nose? "Wrinkle Paste" can be picked up at some of the shows, and on Amazon (etc) has the same ingredients as WhiteWinkle, but it's a paste like Desitin. I keep it on hand

Remind me this weekend to give you some. I just opened a new container so I can dump a bit into the old one for you.

Wait a minute…..reading all this n it just hit me, I went in my bathroom cubby, and had this. I used it when kids were babies many moons go a still for rashes etc. They still sell this in every pharmacy or grocery stores in Canada. Much cheaper too. Btw, my can is like 10yrs old. Bare in mind it’s a very thick paste. You can buy it in bigger jars.

Mine is old n has only one medical ingredient as you can see, zinc. Today’s I don’t know. Ask the seller. When I go out I’ll try to look at them tins n take a photo. BTW, not a powder but…..

Sort of off topic, but the breeder that invented the powder won Best of Breed today in the world Championships

No, it’s zinc. Nyala is brindle. It’s what we use for diaper rashes on babies.
