Calendula

Organic calendula is used in our balancing balm.  The anti-inflammatory properties are thanks to calendula flower’s potent dose of flavonoid, saponins, and triterpenoids. These give calendula the ability to prevent the body’s release of histamines which can cause redness, pain, allergies, and inflammation.

The linoleic acid in calendula extract provides skin cells the ability to absorb nutrients and hold water longer.  Antioxidants, like the flavonoids in calendula extract, pair with those free radicals, essentially neutralising them before they can do damage that leads to premature aging (increased fine lines and wrinkles), hyperpigmentation and dullness. 

For hundreds of years, calendula has been a go-to ingredient for wound healing.
