Description

Calendula Organic Cream is made using extracts of Calendula officinalis (English marigold), a plant long valued in European herbal and skincare traditions. Calendula has traditionally been included in topical preparations intended to comfort, soften and support the skin.

This cream is suitable for regular use and has been traditionally applied to skin that feels dry, delicate or in need of gentle care. Calendula is particularly appreciated for its mild nature, making it suitable for a wide range of skin types.

The cream base allows the botanical extracts to be easily absorbed, leaving the skin feeling nourished and comfortable.
