…sealants, pigments, foods, batteries, ferrites, fire retardants, semi conductors, and first-aid tapes. Although it occurs naturally as the mineral zincite, most zinc oxide is produced synthetically. Early humans probably used zinc compounds in processed and unprocessed forms, as paint or medicinal ointment…
