Calendula Ointment helps soothe and heal minor skin irritations. This homeopathic medicine provides relief for cuts, scrapes, minor burns, and chapped skin. The ointment's base of pure petroleum jelly soothes, protects, and moisturizes the skin. Its active ingredient, calendula, allows the ointment to stay on the skin longer. It maintains contact between the affected area and the plant-powered healing agent, and is paraben-free.
