Calendula

Restorative, warming and protective solar power

Calendula, also called marigold, follows the sun all day long, causing the petals to absorb a lot of light and heat, which is converted into numerous active ingredients.

Calendula, also known as marigold, can be found in both medicinal and ornamental gardens. A monk once coined the name 'bride of the sun' because she follows the sun with her head all day long. This causes the petals to absorb a lot of light and heat, which is then converted into numerous active ingredients. These substances, including carotenoids, flavonoids and essential oils, heal inflammation and stimulate the production of new tissue. Calendula is therefore best known for its restorative powers and protective, strengthening and warming effect on the skin.
