Calamine, lanolin and aloe vera are ok.
from Wikipedia, "Calamine is a mixture of zinc oxide (ZnO) with about 0.5% iron(III) oxide (Fe2O3). It is the main ingredient in calamine lotion and is used as an antipruritic (anti-itching agent) to treat mild pruritic conditions such as sunburn, eczema, rashes, poison ivy, chickenpox, insect bites and stings. It is also used as a mild antiseptic to prevent infections that can be caused by scratching the affected area, and an astringent to dry weeping or oozing blisters and acne abscesses."
Ferric oxide gives calamine its characteristic pink color.
I don't know if there is a white Calamine lotion, but there is a clear calamine lotion. It is super clear and once you put it on it just looks a little shiny, kind of like clear nail polish. The only downside is that it doesn't work as well as the pink calamine does.
Plenty of major retailers and pharmacies carry the product in stores. Wal-Mart sells a type of lacto calamine called Humco: Skin Protectant Calamine Lotion.
