zinc
Brass component element
Zinc is a bluish-white metallic element, brittle at room temperature but malleable when heated.
It's widely used to galvanize steel against rust and as a component in brass and other alloys.
Zinc oxide appears in sunscreens, diaper creams, and ointments.
As a dietary mineral, zinc supports immune function: I take zinc lozenges when I feel a cold coming on.
