Who remembers mom bringing out the calamine lotion as a child whenever someone had a bug bite, poison ivy or chickenpox? The soothing, anti-inflammatory, pink powder (primarily made up of zinc and iron oxides) is great for relieving the itch and sting of a sunburn as well. It's found in Lush's Aqua Marina cleanser, along with seaweed and aloe to hydrate and soothe stressed-out skin. Wrapped up in nori and looking like a cute little sushi roll, the formula starts out as a paste — just add some water and emulsify in your hands to create a creamy, dreamy consistency that is great for soothing and calming as you cleanse.
