Calendula ointment
 | This article relies largely or entirely on a single source. (July 2016) |
Calendula ointment is a substance made from the flower of the marigold plant Calendula officinalis.[1]
Calendula-based skin products have been used to treat minor cuts, burns, and skin irritation.[1] The products that are available in the United States may not contain the same amount or mixture of ingredients and may not be effective.[1] Another product, Calendula ointment, is being studied in France in the prevention of dermatitis in patients having radiation therapy for breast cancer.[1] The ointment being studied is not available in the United States.[1]
