In skincare, calendula is used to treat everything from inflammation to dryness—and it’s incredible for sensitive skin.
Calendula
Inflammation can cause so many frustrating skin issues. You can blame inflammation for your breakouts, rosacea, eczema, sensitivity, even a breakdown of collagen. All these inflammatory skin conditions can benefit from calendula’s soothing effects. The anti-inflammatory properties are thanks to calendula flower’s potent dose of flavonoid, saponins, and triterpenoids. These give calendula the ability to prevent your body from producing histamines which can cause redness, pain, allergies, and inflammation. And when it comes to treating breakouts, calendula’s gentle nature means it won’t dry your skin out and it’s safe to use with other acne-fighting ingredients like benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid. - great news for those with perpetually dry skin. In other words: products with calendula can lead to smoother, more supple, and more nourished skin.
The healing properties from calendula help your skin function healthier, and therefore look its best.
