Key Benefits:

• Ideal for use in hot climates to calm heat rash and sweat-related irritation.
• Can be used as a targeted spot treatment on problem areas without affecting the rest of the skin.
• Suitable for adults and older children; appropriate for most skin types including sensitive skin.

Key Ingredients:

• Calamine (zinc oxide + ferric oxide) – Provides a soothing, cooling effect, helps relieve itching, reduces visible redness, and offers mild astringent and protective properties.
• Zinc oxide – Helps form a light protective barrier on the skin’s surface and supports the calming of irritated areas.
• Inactive base ingredients – Typically include purified water and suspension agents to create a smooth, easy-to-spread lotion texture (exact full ingredient list and concentrations: information unavailable).

Texture & Finish:

• Light, fluid lotion texture that spreads easily and feels cooling upon application; dries down to a soft, non-greasy, slightly powdery matte finish on the skin.
• Non-oily and non-sticky, making it comfortable for use in warm weather and under loose clothing.
• Leaves skin feeling refreshed and lightly protected without a heavy or occlusive film.

How to Use:

1. Shake the bottle well before each use to ensure the calamine and zinc oxide are evenly dispersed.
2. Cleanse and gently pat dry the affected area of skin.
3. Apply a thin, even layer of Calamine Lotion directly to the irritated area using clean fingers or a cotton pad.
4. Allow the lotion to dry completely on the skin; do not rub off. Reapply 2–3 times daily or as needed, avoiding overuse on very dry areas.
5. Follow with your regular moisturizer on surrounding non-irritated skin if needed, and always use sunscreen during the day on exposed areas to protect sensitive skin.

Suitable For:

• Skin Types: Normal, combination, oily, and sensitive skin; suitable for most skin types experiencing temporary irritation.
• Hair Types: Not intended for haircare use.
• Concerns: Itching, redness, minor rashes, insect bites, heat rash, mild sunburn discomfort, and occasional localized irritation that affects skin comfort and appearance.

Results:

• Immediate sensation of cooling and soothing relief on application, with reduced itching and discomfort.
• With regular use during flare-ups, skin appears less red and irritated, with improved comfort and a more even, calm look over several days.

Side Effects:

• May cause mild dryness or tightness, especially on already dry or delicate areas.
• In some individuals, slight stinging, burning, or increased redness may occur on very sensitive or compromised skin.
• Rarely, allergic reactions such as rash, itching, or swelling may occur in those sensitive to any component of the formula.
• Note: If severe irritation, rash, or discomfort occurs, discontinue use immediately and consult a dermatologist or healthcare professional.

Precautions:

• Patch test recommended before first use on a small area of skin, especially if you have very sensitive or allergy-prone skin.
• Avoid direct contact with eyes, inside the mouth, and mucous membranes.
• For external use only; do not apply inside deep cuts, open wounds, or serious burns.
• Discontinue use if irritation, excessive dryness, or an allergic reaction develops.
• Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen on exposed areas during the day, as irritated skin can be more sensitive to the sun.
• Keep out of reach of children and supervise use in older children.
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat; keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use.
