Calamine is a pink powder that is made of zincoxide with a small amount of ferric oxide. It is used in lotions, ointments, and liniments. It is a customary mixture that is soothing and healing to the skin. It is great for itchy rashes such as poison ivy. It is natural but some formulas contain phenol which can cause poisoning when applied to the skin. A blend of natural calamine and aloevera is a good pure skin treatment for burns, rashes and insect bites. Research Calamine
