Calendula Extract
INCI: calendula officinalis flower extract
Calendula (pot marigold) extract is one of phytotherapy’s best-researched wound-healing plants: its triterpene saponins and flavonoids stimulate granulation tissue and epithelialisation, giving it genuine utility for cracked, chapped, or healing skin. Systematic reviews support its use for wound healing and dermatitis comfort. In cosmetics at 2–5% it calms redness, softens rough patches, and speeds recovery of stressed skin. Kiehl’s famously built a hero line around it. Well tolerated across skin types, though Compositae-allergy sufferers should patch test. Ideal for winter skin, post-hair-removal care, and barrier-stressed complexions.
