Recommended for sensitive and rough skin, this moisturizing, revitalizing and moisturizing Calendula Macerate is the perfect ingredient to care for skin that is prone to discomfort or tightness.
From the family Asteraceae, Calendula or Garden Marigold is very easily grown in the Mediterranean regions where it blooms from April to early December.
This pretty orange flower owes its name “worry” to the Latin term “solsequier” which means “who follows the sun” because its flowers open to the ascent of the sun, and close when it goes to bed.
The medicinal properties of calendula were already well known in the Middle Ages , when St. Hildegard and Albertus Magnus the prescribed against the insect bites and bites of reptiles.
In certain parts of Germany and England, even the marigold was used to color the butter too white , and to blonden the hair !
Today, marigold is widely used in cosmetics or dermocosmetics for its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties (skin irritations, burns …). It is found in particular in hygiene and care products for babies because of the softness of its action.
Because of its soothing activity, the oily macerate of Calendula, as well as that of St. John’s Wort or Arnica, is a unconditional ingredient for the realization of “home” care, especially for the more adventurous sportsmen.
