Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract

Calendula Flower Extract

Calendula is the gentle one, a golden marigold flower that sensitive skin adores.

  • Calms sensitive skin: its polysaccharides soothe and hydrate where skin feels tight.
  • Reduces the look of redness: flavonoids help settle reactive, easily-flushed skin.
  • Protects from daily stress: carotenoids help shield skin from pollution and the environment.

Why we use it

Calendula has been used in Mexican herbalism for centuries, and its reputation holds up. It is a true anti-inflammatory, so skin that stings, flushes or feels reactive tends to settle down around it.
Over time that turns into skin that feels calmer, smoother and more resilient. That is why calendula is the calming backbone of our Tone step: you will find it in both the Hydrating Toner and the Soothing Toner.

All skin types

Look of Redness, Barrier Support, Antioxidant Support, Dryness
