Add flower power to your medicine cabinet. Calendula Ointment by Boiron is a homeopathic first aid treatment that promotes the healing of skin irritations.* The ointment’s base of pure petroleum jelly soothes, protects, and moisturizes the skin while the active ingredient, made from fresh Calendula, heals. When a thin layer is applied, the ointment stays on skin longer and maintains contact between the affected area and the healing agent. Try it for cuts and scrapes; blisters; minor burns; dry or cracked skin on knees, feet, or elbows; chafed or chapped skin and lips; and nasal irritations from colds.
Calendula Ointment is free of fragrances, dyes, and parabens and is suitable for all ages and skin types. Available in a 1 oz tube, this must-have for any first aid kit is HSA & FSA eligible.
