Calendula for skin is a time-tested botanical known for its gentle yet effective healing properties. At Pure & Natural Body Essentials, we use calendula in our plant-based skincare formulations to support sensitive skin, reduce inflammation, and promote natural regeneration—all without the use of synthetic chemicals.
What is Calendula?
Calendula, also known as pot marigold, is a bright orange flower whose petals have been used in natural healing remedies for centuries. Rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds, calendula extract soothes, nourishes, and protects the skin.
Benefits of Calendula for Skin
1. Calms Irritated or Sensitive Skin
Calendula has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, making it ideal for soothing eczema, diaper rash, or post-shave irritation.
2. Supports Wound Healing
This botanical promotes tissue repair, helping minor cuts, abrasions, and blemishes heal more quickly without leaving marks.
3. Hydrates and Softens
Calendula contains natural oils and flavonoids that lock in moisture, making it a gentle moisturizer for dry or damaged skin.
4. Reduces Redness and Inflammation
Calendula’s ability to calm inflammation helps reduce redness from acne, rosacea, or sun exposure, restoring balance to the skin.
5. Provides Antioxidant Protection
Packed with antioxidants, calendula defends against environmental stressors and helps maintain a healthy skin barrier.
