How Calamine + Light liquid paraffin + Aloe works 

This cream works in multiple ways to care for the skin. Calamine acts as a mild astringent and skin protectant, helping to reduce itching, redness, and irritation. Light liquid paraffin acts as an emollient, forming a protective barrier on the skin that locks in moisture and prevents dryness. Aloe vera soothes inflammation and promotes healing of irritated or damaged skin. Together, these ingredients calm the skin, maintain hydration, and support repair, making it ideal for itchy, dry, or irritated skin.
