Calendula – originally found in the Mediterranean region and Iran, calendula, also known as marigold, has proliferated to temperate regions and thrives in Poland. The delicate orange blossoms contain valuable triterpenes and cleansing saponins, as well as flavonoids that soothe and strengthen the skin. The bright golden color of calendula flowers comes from an abundance of carotenoids, responsible for the plant’s powerful antioxidant action. Because calendula speeds regeneration of skin without aggravating sensitivities, it can help control blemishes and other problems in dry and sensitive skin types.
