Calamine lotion is a multipurpose lotion, which can be used for sunburns, insect bites, and dressing wounds. Bentonite clay helps in healing wounds faster.
Baking soda helps relieve itching and skin irritation, and tea tree oil soothes inflamed or itchy skin. Sea salt helps reduce swelling and removes dead skin cells, while pink kaolin clay is helpful for sensitive skin.
It is also an excellent exfoliator, and it gives color to the lotion. Glycerine helps absorb moisture into the skin.
