Whom You Know Recommends Calendula Cream by Boiron-It Solves All Your Summer Scrapes!

From world renowned homeopathic medicine pharmacy, Boiron, comes Calendula Cream. Calendula Cream is first aid for chafing, scrapes, burns ad skin irritations. This is great to use on sunburns too. It can be used on sensitive skin and on your face. Calendula cream is also gentle enough for use on children. We loved the moisturizing feel of the cream as it soothed our sunburned skin. We prefer this cream over aloe. It was lightweight too, so we didn't feel sticky. We should also mention that Calendula Cream is paraben-free and works naturally with your body. This cream can also be used as a night cream to moisturize and rejuvenate. It is so gentle that it is also recommended for use after facials and chemical peels. Calendula Cream is like a wonder product; there isn't much it can not do.

I always like to have an emergency type product in my cabinet that I can use for any skin irritation. Boiron's Calendula Cream is a great product to always have around! It truly helps with minor burns, cuts, skin irritations and sunburns! I just used it on my sunburn from this weekend and it worked like a charm! It was so soothing and put moisture back into my skin! It is designed for use on delicate and sensitive skin so it does not further irritate your skin either! The cream has a nice, light texture so it doesn't make my skin feel greasy. Everyone should have go-to product like this one in their medicine cabinet at home! You won't be sorry!

What would be the chances that as soon as I go to really look into this cream, I happen to burn one of my fingers on the side of my indoor grill? I don't normally mess with burn creams, but this cream is so much more than that. I did happen to apply this cream to where I burned my finger and it felt better almost immediately. I also like the fact that it serves more than one purpose. This Calendula Cream also helps heal minor scrapes, cuts, skin irritations and burns. I know I tend to burn when I'm out doing yard work. I also tend to cut myself quite a bit, by accident of course, when I happen to be working on different projects with my students or working at home. This cream will definitely come in handy. I know quite a few people just as burn/cut/sunburn prone as I am that I will be recommending this cream to. 

Have a burn? How about a scrape or just plain old irritated skin? Well, instead of reaching for a typical drugstore remedy, you may want to reach instead for Boiron's Calendula Cream. This homeopathic remedy works wonders, and quickly, too! Homeopathic medicine has been used for over 200 years, and is created from mineral, botanical, and biological substances - no weird, unpronounceable chemicals or fillers. And there's a reason it's stuck around so long - it works! Boiron is the worldwide leader in homeopathy, and is trusted by physicians and consumers all over the world. I tried the Calendula Cream on a small cut on my knee, and after using it 3 times/day for 2 days, the cut was nearly completely healed! It felt nice and cool going on, and did not cause any irritation at all! From now on, I'm definitely keeping it stocked in my medicine cabinet! 

Having very young children means having scrapes and cuts on the knees and hands. From falling in the driveway to skinning a ankles on their bikes, it never stops. I always look for the perfect cleaner and cream to apply but have fallen short until now. Boiron has a homeopathic Medicine called Calendula Cream that is perfect for all their mishaps. It naturally helps heal their scraps and burns. It is not painful which is of course seriously important for little ones. It is incredibly moisturizing and can be used on any body part safely, even your face. To think that a mere marigold has healing effects is incredible. So make sure to add this to your first aid kit.

Guarding the muscles, bones and internal organs, skin is the largest organ of the body! Life can take a toll on this outer covering every day—shaving; exposure to sun, wind and dry cold weather; kitchen burns; cuts and scrapes; rashes and insect bites; sports injuries, etc. One of the most versatile, frequently needed and economical finds in the health store is Calendula for all these skin irritations and more.


Calendula is made from its namesake: the Garden marigold (Calendula officinalis). A native to Southern Europe and cultivated widely throughout North America, it offers more than its good looks. This flower has healing power. With its bright yellow-orange blossoms, the Garden marigold has been applied locally for centuries as a natural healing and soothing substance. Likewise, homeopathic preparations of the flower have been used safely for generations to naturally speed the healing process.

Today it is known that Calendula’s wound-healing properties are due to the presence of essential oils, saponins, flavonoids and alkaloids. These compounds have anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties and promote skin regeneration. 

One of the most popular homeopathic medicines, this medicine cabinet staple should also be stocked everywhere from home and sport first aid kits to travel toiletry bags, the kitchen, nursery, and cosmetic surgeon offices.

Undetectable to others, these formulas are clear when applied and have no medicinal smell. Boiron’s Calendula line is free of artificial colors and perfumes. They are not tested on animals. 

Boiron’s Calendula line is available in natural product stores and independent pharmacies nationwide. To locate the nearest store that carries Calendula, visit www.boironusa.com, call the Boiron Information Center at 1-800-BOIRON-1 (1-800-264-7661) or e-mail info@boironusa.com.
