Hyland's Calendula Ointment is a topical preparation for minor cuts, scrapes and irritations. The ointment provides an extract of Calendula that is well-known for its healing power on the skin. It is great for burns, but shouldn't be used until the burn has completely cooled. For first aid for burns try Hyland's Calendula Oil or Hyland's Calendula Spray and follow the next day with Hyland's Calendula Ointment.
