When skin needs more - This is the cream you reach for.

Sometimes your skin needs extra care — a deeper layer of comfort, protection, and calm. This Zinc Cream with Calendula is designed for exactly those moments.

Why Choose This Cream?

With 20% zinc oxide, it creates a breathable shield that protects irritated or compromised skin while locking in nourishing moisture. Calendula helps soothe redness, calm inflammation, and support healthy repair. A blend of organic grape seed oil, cocoa butter, raspberry seed oil, olive oil, and castor oil replenishes the skin’s barrier and keeps dryness at bay.

Use it daily or as needed: after shower, after shave, after sun, during chronic flareups (like eczema, psoriasis, rosacea), or whenever your skin needs a little extra tenderness. 

What to Expect?

No water. No nuts. No petroleum. No synthetic fillers.

Only the highest quality, organic, cold-pressed ingredients—because your skin deserves the best.

A ritual of relief — and a reminder that your sensitive skin deserves extra care.

Organic Cocoa Butter - A rich occlusive that seals in moisture and softens rough, irritated areas while providing natural antioxidant support.

Raspberry Seed Oil - Packed with omega fatty acids and vitamin E to replenish the skin’s lipid barrier, reduce water loss, and soothe inflammation.

Beeswax - Forms a breathable, protective seal that prevents moisture loss and comforts irritated or compromised skin.

Organic Castor Oil - A humectant-rich oil that draws moisture into the skin while adding a protective, soothing layer.

Olivem - An olive based emulsifier that ensures even distribution of zinc. Also mimics the skin’s natural barrier, improving hydration and leaving skin soft and silky.

Calendula Extract - A calming botanical that reduces visible redness and supports gentle, effective skin repair.

How to Use

A little goes a long way! Apply where you need it. Apply as often as you’d like. Keep it out of direct sunlight as it may soften in high heats.

Other uses

  • Evening Face Cream for dry, sensitive, or reactive skin
  • After-Sun to calm and replenish
  • Diaper Cream that’s nut-free and parent-approved
  • Rash + Burn Ointment for gentle repair
  • Blemish Lotion for body acne
  • Cold-Weather Barrier for wind-chapped cheeks or hands

Pro tip: I LOVE how gorgeous my skin is in the morning after using this as a night cream. If you ever wake up feeling dry and tight with random red bumps you didn’t sign up for, using this in the evenings (after cleansing, toning and maybe even a minimal application of face oil) will change your skin for the better. 

Protect & Repair

The zinc oxide in this cream builds a gentle, breathable shield to defend sensitive or irritated skin from further damage while you heal.

Soothe & Calm

The Story Behind our Extra Care Cream

It’s hard to tell this product story because the first time I attempted to make a zinc cream, I felt helpless. My son was reacting to literally everything I put on this skin. I couldn’t use sunscreen. I honestly felt like I was failing as a mom and didn’t know how to support my son. I read a few blogs and scrolled through some zinc oxide + skin research and figured I had nothing to lose. This cream was the answer to my prayers. Somehow, by the grace of God or some higher good, I made something that helped (more than harmed) my son. Back then it was a much simpler formulation. I had half the zinc, no calendula or raspberry seed oils. But when I knew I was going to bring it to market, I wanted to amplify my simple recipe into something really truly healing. This cream helped me feel more confident as a Mom. I hope it helps you in unexpected and beautiful ways too.

Frequently asked questions

Is this safe for daily use on sensitive or eczema-prone skin?

Yes — zinc oxide provides a protective barrier and the calendula supports healing and reduces inflammation, making the formula well-suited for sensitive, reactive skin.

Please always take your own allergies or sensitivities into consideration when selecting natural skincare. A patch test in a small area is always recommended.

Will this leave a white cast when I apply it?

Because of the zinc oxide, there may be a slight white tint depending on how much you use and how thickly you apply it. A little goes a long way.

Can I use this on broken or irritated skin (like rashes or burns)?

Absolutely. The zinc acts as a protective layer, and the calendula supports tissue repair. It’s designed for use on rashes, rosacea, minor burns, and other barrier-compromised skin.

Customers have reported using this cream in the most sensitive areas for better skin repair than over the counter ointments.

Is it greasy? How does it feel?

The formula is rich but balanced. Thanks to Olivem and beeswax, it spreads smoothly and mimics skin lipids, so it hydrates well without a heavy, greasy residue. Your skin will feel protected. If it feels slippery, use less the next time. A little goes a long way.

How often should I apply it?

Use as needed — generally on clean, dry skin. For flare-ups or areas under stress, you can apply multiple times per day. At minimum, apply after cleansing and before going to bed to give the skin a rich barrier and better environment for repair.
