Looking for relief from a variety of inevitable summertime skin irritations? Well then Calendula may be your best natural bet, according to โ€œAmericaโ€™s Most Trusted Pharmacistโ€ Suzy Cohen, RPh. In one of Cohenโ€™s recent โ€œAsk the Pharmacistโ€ columns, one mom asked about natural remedies to treat these types of irritations on her children. Cohenโ€™s response: โ€œI think Calendula would be fantastic for cradle cap and diaper rashes, or any rash for that matter,โ€ she says. โ€œYou can use it on minor burns, sunburn, bedsores, eczema and poison ivy.โ€ Cohen includes several brands of Calendula in the article, including Boiron Calendula topicals.

Boironโ€™s Calendula line, which is made from a homeopathic preparation of Garden marigold, a flower used safely for generations to naturally speed the skinโ€™s healing process, has no medicinal smell, and is free of artificial colors, perfumes and parabens. Calendula is an excellent local treatment for small wounds, cuts, sunburns, chaffing, rashes or irritations. The soothing and moisturizing texture of Calendula Cream works best on sensitive skin and on children. The water-based Calendula Lotion works well as a general hand and body lotion, and covers large surfaces such as sunburns or rashes. The occlusive formula of Calendula Ointment adheres to skin longer to promote healing by protecting and moisturizing the wound.
