A very sunny flower: calendula, more commonly known as marigold! Not only is calendula lovely to grow in your garden, it adds a number of wonderful properties to skin Care. The herb has a long history of being skin soothing, and is great for people who want gentle additives in their Skin Care products. Because of its folklore of anti-inflammatory and skin-soothing properties, as an infusion or an extract in acne and creme formulations. Calendula petals are particularly versatile too, and I’ve used it the Lotion.
