Swan Calamine Lotion Review

Wow, this stuff has been around forever and still tops the list of effective home treatments for poison ivy, oak, and sumac, as well as a thousand and one other small injuries or conditions kids and parents encounter through camping, gardening, or even just a hike.

With allergic reactions so widespread, keeping a bottle of calamine lotion is always a great idea, but some stores charge around $5 for a bottle.  Swan is just as good and costs a fraction of that no matter where you find it.  I am glad companies like Swan still offer a reasonable price for their very excellent products.  They have a whole line and can usually be found at dollar stores or other discount stores. 

There is virtually no difference between Swan calamine lotion and the higher priced brand I bought at a local drugstore, but the price was much higher. The only difference I could find was the scent, which is very mild anyway.
