Calendula Flower

Calendula

Calendula flower promotes the regeneration of new tissue and soothes damaged skin.

Calendula can contain flavonoids which are believed to decrease the appearance of dark undereye circles. It does this by reducing the melanin in the skin. The result is brighter looking skin and reduced aged spots.  [1] Studies have shown that calendula can increase collagen production and stimulates epithelial cell growth to promote cell turnover

It is an anti-inflammatory that helps heal the skin. It is generally used in conjunction with other ingredients to help buffer potent ingredients and soothe the skin.

Lavender’s anti-microbial and anti-bacterial properties keep skin healthy. It has soothing properties to calm any imbalances such as inflammation or dry skin flaking.

The linalyl acetate in lavender enhances cell growth in the skin.

Chamomile
