It has natural oxygen, phenols, and carotenoids, all essential for both skin regeneration and creating luminous, beautiful skin. Additionally, it aids everything from infections, poor circulation, and toothaches to skin rashes. Further, this Mediterranean flower is an amazing restoring soothing agent.

Calendula mainly works by speeding up the skin's natural renewal process so that cuts and blemishes go away faster. In contrast, the rest of the skin appears brighter and more youthful. Additionally, it is bursting with antioxidants that fight free radicals and inflammation.

Rejuvenating Calendula

Calendula can soothe irritations quickly. It is ideal for those with dry or sensitive skin. You can find it in various products, including tonics, tinctures, hair care, serums, eye creams, moisturizers, toners, and cleansers. It is a main ingredient in many baby products due to its calming properties.

Additionally, Calendula is used with allantoin to improve both ingredients' restorative and appearance-brightening powers. It is commonly used in anti-aging applications but is mainly employed in creams designed to speed up the skin's regeneration process.

With its rejuvenating properties, Calendula is perfect for this application, improving the look of the skin. It encourages the skin to speed up the rate at which it builds new cells. Further, dead and decaying cells are pushed to the surface and sloughed off.

Renewal makes the skin look more youthful, plump, and luminous. Additionally, it is effective on rashes and conditions like psoriasis and eczema. It reduces inflammation in the skin, which therefore reduces the look of redness.

For example, as a moisturizer, dry, often inflamed patches can be alleviated with organic Calendula.

It is essential to use organic Calendula. This means it has not come into contact with pesticides, which are very harmful to the skin. Above all, pesticides and other harsh chemical treatments are not present on organic calendula plants.
