I have very itchy dry skin on my back, arms and legs due to hormone level changes (it’s an age thing) could this product help?

I imagine it will depend on your own skin chemistry how effective it will be. All I can say is my son who suffers a combination of psoirisis, eczema and contact dermatitis. Finds this one of the few creams that offers him any relief definitely worth trying imho.

Hi. what percentage of this is calendula please? how does that compare to the boo boo balm content? thanks.

Don’t know about boo boo balm. However, I’ve used calendula all my life and this is a really good cream. The smell tells me the calendula is there so it’s not weak. I can’t see content on pot nor brochure. Maybe contact the company themselves. I use it and heals fast. So it works well for us. Hope this helps.
