Calendula

Calendula, derived from the pot marigold flower, offers numerous benefits for the skin due to its potent anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and healing properties. These qualities make it a versatile ingredient suitable for a wide range of skin types, including sensitive and dry skin.

KEY BENEFITS:

• Soothing and Calming: Calendula helps reduce redness, swelling, and itching associated with skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and contact dermatitis. Its triterpenoid compounds inhibit inflammatory responses, providing relief for irritated skin.
• Wound Healing: It promotes faster healing of minor cuts, scrapes, burns (including sunburn), and insect bites by increasing blood flow and encouraging the production of new, healthy tissue and collagen. Studies have shown it can be effective in helping c-section wounds and venous leg ulcers heal more quickly.
• Antioxidant Protection: Rich in flavonoids and carotenoids, calendula helps protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals and environmental stressors like UV radiation and pollution. This can help prevent premature aging signs such as fine lines and an uneven skin tone.
• Deep Hydration and Nourishment: Calendula contains beneficial fatty acids, like linoleic acid, which help support the skin's natural moisture barrier and prevent water loss. This results in softer, more hydrated, and supple skin.
• Antimicrobial and Antifungal Effects: Its natural antiseptic and antibacterial properties can help prevent infection in skin injuries and may also be beneficial in managing acne-causing bacteria and certain fungal conditions like athlete's foot.
• Improved Skin Texture and Radiance: Regular use can help visibly even skin tone, boost radiance, and smooth the skin's texture. It can also help reduce the appearance of scars and dark spots over time
