It contains aloe gel, soluble collagen, vitamin E, lanolin and allantoin. It's expensive, (I paid $12 for a 4 fluid ounce bottle) but it gives good relief. I'm going to look into the Domeboro as well. Thanks for the tip.
Karalee - hang in there and good luck! Thanks for bringing this topic up - I learned something that may well help me out and I greatly appreciate it.
