My 2-yo daughter is at the age where she's getting the occasional scratch or scrape. I wanted to get her some calendula for this, but many creams also have other suff added that I'd rather not apply to her skin. I found a spray by Hyland's that is a 22% solution, with glycerin and water added (it's a spray). Would this be effective enough? Or should I just go with the tabs? I thought something topical would be better.

I appreciate any advice you can give.

Why don't you make it yourself? Usually the lotion is made by adding one part of Calendula tincture to nine parts of distilled water. If you wish to make it a bit stronger, reduce it to 1:5 or whatever might suit your requirement. Or you may like to mix the tincture in simple/plain petroleum jelly. The jelly will not absorb beyond a certain quantity. This is what I use at home.

Well part of the problem is I can't locate a tincture. My health food store doesn't sell it pure, and I have no idea where else to find it.

Perhaps I cannot help you there. You may like to look for some online Homeopathic pharmacy and order it. It should arrive in few days.

I can read "Calendula" written on the bottle but I am not sure if it has been prepared according to homeopathic rules. Here is a list of some pharmacies to explore.
