Calendula, also known as marigolds, is a type of perennial flower that is characterized by a big, beautiful sunshine-orange blossom that is native to the Mediterranean area. It has been used for centuries in Ayurveda and traditional Chinese medicine.
Calendula oil is extracted from the petals, stems, and seeds and we absolutely love this plant for the following skin benefits.
Anti- Inflammatory
Under stress our body suffers inflammation which causes irritation, breaks down collagen, and can trigger skin conditions. Stress can be caused various factors such as diet, pollution and UV exposure.
Antioxidants
They help neutralize free radicals and help our bodies avoid oxidative stress which lead to premature aging, collagen and elastin breakdown. Calendula contains carotenoids and flavonoids which can help wounds heal faster, plump skin through hydration and circulation.
Antimicrobial
Which can help treat dandruff, rashes, and acne which are all triggered by the overgrowth of certain fungi and bacteria.
Hydrating
Mainly due the fatty acids in the oil such as linoleic acid which helps support the skin barrier function which helps retain water and keep the skin hydrated.
