Calamine lotions and creams are soothing treatments that help to ease itching caused by minor skin irritations.
They’re made up of a mixture of two active ingredients, calamine and zinc oxide, which work to soothe itchy, reddened, or irritated skin.
Calamine lotion has been a popular remedy for skin complaints for thousands of years, with historians finding that it’s been used to soothe the skin since as early as 1500 BC!
If you’re looking for a gentle, cooling way to soothe your itchy, irritated skin, you can’t go far wrong with calamine.

Calamine is safe to use on children and is a popular way to soothe irritated skin when kids get chickenpox.
However, you should speak to your doctor or pharmacist before using it on your child, so you can be sure it’s the right product for them.
Like all medications, calamine can have side effects, although not everyone will experience them.
These include side effects caused by an allergic reaction, such as a skin rash, redness, or itchy skin.
If you experience any side effects while using calamine lotion or cream, stop use and speak to your doctor or pharmacist right away.
