Calendula is renowned for its soothing, anti-inflammatory and healing properties. It is particularly useful for sensitive, damaged or irritated skin due to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and skin-regenerative benefits. The polysaccharides found in Calendula are known to enhance skin hydration and support barrier function. This plant when applied topically is suitable for sensitive skin conditions, damaged skin and infants as it contains soothing properties which help to reduce redness, inflammation and irritation. It is a profound wound healer promoting tissue repair and accelerates the healing of minor cuts, burns and abrasions, in this form it is a deeply moisturising plant working to enhance skin hydration by improving barrier function and water retention abilities; its antioxidant effects protect the skin against environmental stressors and oxidative damage.

It grows wild in Scotland and is easy to grow at home as well! It is an antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and styptic, helping to promote tissue regeneration and reduce infection, making it highly effective for maintaining a soft and supple texture while encouraging the healing of cuts, burns, scars and other wounds.
