Schwabe Calendumed Soothing Ointment – Calendula Healing for Redness, Burns & Irritated Skin
Discover the Essence of Calendumed
Introducing Schwabe Calendumed® Soothing Ointment, a refined homeopathic topical remedy meticulously formulated by Dr. Willmar Schwabe Germany. This soothing cream harnesses the natural healing power of Calendula officinalis flower extract, delivering 10% pure mother tincture in every 10 g. Free from parabens, PEGs, silicone, and artificial dyes, it’s designed to gently restore irritated skin to its natural balance.
Why Calendumed is So Effective
At its heart lies Calendula officinalis, a revered herb known for its regenerative, anti-inflammatory, and antiseptic properties. From minor burns to stubborn scratches or dry, chafed skin, the calendula-based formula actively supports skin repair by enhancing circulation and soothing inflamed tissue.
The ointment’s base includes pure petrolatum and liquid paraffin, which lock in moisture while forming a protective, breathable barrier. This not only shields the skin from further irritation, but also enhances healing in dry or compromised areas. With cetearyl alcohol and octyldodecanol providing gentle texture and absorption, and benzyl alcohol ensuring natural preservation, the formulation remains light yet effective.
Notably, Calendumed® is devoid of harsh preservatives, colored additives, silicones, or PEG compounds—making it ideal for sensitive skin, including that of infants and children.
When Calendumed® Works Its Magic
This ointment is the go-to remedy for a wide spectrum of skin issues:
- Minor burns and scalds: immediately calms heat, prevents excessive peeling, and speeds up recovery.
- Scratches, abrasions, and bruises: assists with faster re-epithelialization and fade of discoloration.
- Dry, cracked, or chafed skin due to environmental exposure, friction, eczema, or diaper rash.
- Inflammatory flare-ups such as eczema patches or mild dermatitis—soothes redness and tightness as the barrier restores gently.
With consistent daily use, Calendumed® contributes to minimized itching, decreased swelling, and accelerated disappearance of surface-level scars or discolored marks.
Real Relief You Can Feel
Upon first application, Calendumed® offers a cooling sensation and instant relief from itching or burning. Over days of continued use, the skin texture smooths, redness fades, and recovery feels more complete. Many users note that even weak scabs become soft and pliable, bridging healing gaps in delicate areas.
Because of its deeply moisturizing yet non-greasy consistency, it’s equally suitable for everyday skincare—relieving dryness in hands, elbows, lips, or diaper regions without clogging pores.
How to Use Calendumed® Correctly
Begin with a freshly cleansed, dry area. Apply a thin layer of the ointment, massaging until fully absorbed. It’s most effective when used 1 to 3 times daily, depending on the severity of irritation or dryness.
Once visible improvement occurs—such as softened redness or decreased discomfort—you can gradually reduce frequency.
Always wash hands after application. Avoid applying Calendumed® to open, bleeding wounds, mucous membranes, or around the eyes. If sensitive skin types or allergies are a concern, perform a patch test on a small area before full use.
Store the tube in a cool, dry place, away from heat sources. Dispose of opened tubes after 12 months, in accordance with expiration guidelines.
Safety & Precautions
Though Calendumed® is generally well tolerated with no known adverse effects, allergic reactions to calendula or benzyl alcohol may occur. Avoid use in individuals allergic to the Asteraceae (daisy) family. If severe skin conditions, infection, fever, or persistent lesions develop, seek medical evaluation promptly. This ointment is intended for superficial skin concerns only, not deep wounds or surgical sites.

Yes, it’s safe for use on children and even infants, especially because it’s free from PEGs, parabens, silicones, artificial dyes, and harsh preservatives. However, it’s always a good idea to do a patch test before full application, especially on very young or sensitive skin.
- How often should I apply Calendumed®?
The ointment can be applied one to three times a day, depending on the severity of the skin issue. For mild dryness, once daily may be enough. For more irritated or inflamed areas, applying two or three times a day can deliver quicker relief. Simply apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin and gently massage it in until absorbed.
- Can I use Calendumed® on open wounds or near my eyes?
No, Calendumed® is not recommended for open or bleeding wounds, deep cuts, mucous membranes, or around the eyes. It is intended for surface-level skin irritations. If a wound is deep, infected, or surgical in nature, it’s best to consult a medical professional instead of using any over-the-counter topical ointment.
- What should I expect when using it?
Most users experience a gentle cooling effect and relief from itching or discomfort right after the first application. Over time, you may notice improved skin texture, reduced redness, and accelerated fading of minor scars or marks. It has a non-greasy consistency, so it won’t leave a heavy or sticky residue.
- Are there any side effects I should be concerned about?
Calendumed® is generally well tolerated. However, those allergic to Calendula or plants from the Asteraceae (daisy) family should avoid it. Mild allergic reactions are rare but possible, especially in individuals with sensitive skin. Benzyl alcohol is used as a natural preservative and may occasionally cause sensitivity in some users.
- How should I store the ointment and how long does it last after opening?
Keep the tube stored in a cool, dry place away from direct heat or sunlight. Once opened, the ointment should be used within 12 months to ensure optimal freshness and effectiveness. Always close the cap tightly after use to maintain hygiene.
- Can Calendumed be used daily as a general skin moisturizer?
Yes, it can be used for daily skin care, particularly for dry or irritated areas like hands, elbows, lips, or areas prone to friction. It hydrates and protects without clogging pores, making it suitable for regular use on both face and body, provided there are no open wounds.
10. Can I use other creams or medications with Calendumed?
You can, but it’s best to apply them at different times to avoid interactions or dilution of their effects. If you’re using a medicated cream for a diagnosed skin condition, speak with your doctor or pharmacist to make sure combining it with Calendumed® is appropriate.
