What It Does
Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract is derived from the bright orange-yellow flowers of the pot marigold plant, traditionally valued for its soothing and skin-calming properties. This glycerin-based extract contains flavonoids, triterpene saponins, and carotenoids that provide anti-inflammatory and wound-healing benefits, making it particularly popular in sensitive skin formulations and post-procedure care products. Formulators choose calendula extract for its gentle yet effective ability to support skin barrier repair and reduce visible redness without causing irritation.
