Soothing lotion (4)
I believe the answer is:
balm
'soothing lotion' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for balm that I've seen before include "Soothing stuff for lamb" , "Unguent" , "Soothing ointment for lamb (4)" , "Aromatic herb" , "'Ointment, salve (4)'" .)
