Calendula extract is one of the most important actives in our Lumea line.
It is a sought-after ingredient, extracted from organic calendula flowers.
Calendula, Calendula officinalis, is a typical flower of Mediterranean areas, growing in barren lands with a Mediterranean climate.
It does not require special care or irrigation, and in spring it gives us immense blooms, colorful and with notable therapeutic properties.
Calendula flowers contain a surprising mix of components, including essential oil, triterpenoids, and triterpenic saponins, flavonoids, sterols, carotenoids, mucilages, and pyrogallol tannins. These actives give it many properties, which reach their maximum effectiveness when applied to the skin.
Calendula, as an extract, oil, or cream:
- Accelerates wound healing.
- Has an emollient and protective action.
- Creates a barrier on the skin that protects against irritation.
The protective barrier it creates on the application area prevents moisture from evaporating, thus preserving hydrated and healthy skin.
It protects against cold, weather agents, and especially helps sensitive skin not to redden.
If the skin is already damaged? In this case, calendula extract is healing, meaning it accelerates wound healing, helping to calm redness and burning.
It helps regenerate the skin if wounded and cut due to cold and prevents the formation of skin redness caused by strong temperature changes if applied in advance.
