Comments

I have used this product on my children for diaper rash and a sundry of other things. Cleared up the rash overnight.I love it! This was in the 1960’s from then on until it went off the market.Now Calmospetine is a replacement but not as good. I still have a bit left and it is a treasure. Just last week my son had a cut on his lip. Antibiotics didn’t do a thing. He finally used comfortine and it cleared it right up.
