basic dyes are more effective for bacterial staining than acidic dyes because basic dyes have a positive charged chromogen. Bacterial nucleic acids and certain cell wall compo â¦ nents carry a negative charge that strongly binds to the cationic chromogen.
Zinc oxide can be used in ointments, creams, and lotions to protect against sunburn and other damage to the skin caused by ultraviolet light (see sunscreen). It is the broadest spectrum UVA and UVB reflector that is approved for use as a sunscreen by the FDA, and is completely photostable.he zinc oxide is thought to have been produced by heating zinc ore in a shaft furnace. This liberated metallic zinc as a vapor, which then ascended the flue and condensed as the oxide. This process was described by Dioscorides in the 1st century AD.
Zinc oxide is effective as a sunscreen for humans, but it's toxic for dogs. If ingested, it can damage your dogâs delicate red blood cells, causing them to explode. The resulting anemia can be severe and require a blood transfusion.
