KEY INGREDIENT GLOSSARY
Hormonal acne can be challenging to manage, often leaving skin inflamed, irritated, and prone to scarring.
Thankfully, the legendary healing flower Calendula offers a natural solution. Known for its healing and anti-inflammatory properties, Calendula is our go to ingredient for acne-prone and sensitive skin.
Let’s see why Calendula is one of our essential go to ingredients.
1. Soothes Inflammation Caused by Hormonal Acne
Hormonal acne frequently brings redness, irritation, and inflammation. Calendula is celebrated for its anti-inflammatory properties, which work to calm and soothe irritated skin. By reducing inflammation, Calendula helps alleviate the discomfort associated with acne breakouts, leaving skin looking calmer and less red.
2. Accelerates Healing of Acne Lesions
Calendula speeds up the healing process of acne lesions. Its natural ability to support skin repair ensures that pimples heal faster, reducing the risk of long-term damage and scarring. By accelerating recovery, Calendula also helps improve the overall appearance of acne-prone skin.
3. Strengthens the Skin’s Barrier
A robust skin barrier is essential to prevent acne breakouts. Calendula strengthens the skin’s natural barrier, making it more resilient to environmental stressors and acne triggers. A strong barrier helps protect your skin from pollution, bacteria, and irritants that can exacerbate hormonal acne.
4. Supports Skin Hydration
Even acne-prone skin needs hydration, and Calendula provides the perfect balance. It helps the skin retain moisture without clogging pores, ensuring your skin stays hydrated and healthy. Hydrated skin is better equipped to fight off acne, while maintaining a healthy glow.
5. Reduces Acne Scarring
Calendula’s regenerative properties help reduce the appearance of acne scars by encouraging skin cell turnover. Regular use of Calendula in your skincare routine can lead to the gradual fading of dark spots and scarring, leaving your skin clearer and more even-toned.
6. Prevents Future Breakouts
By soothing inflammation and strengthening the skin’s barrier, Calendula can help prevent future acne breakouts. Its antimicrobial properties help keep acne-causing bacteria at bay, while its soothing nature ensures that your skin stays calm and balanced.
7. Ideal for Sensitive Skin
Hormonal acne often affects those with sensitive skin, making it crucial to use gentle, non-irritating ingredients. Calendula is perfect for sensitive skin as it soothes irritation without causing further inflammation or dryness. Its gentle nature makes it safe for daily use, even for the most delicate complexions.
8. Boosts Skin’s Natural Defence
Calendula helps protect your skin from external stressors by boosting its natural defence mechanisms. This increased protection helps acne-prone skin better resist the effects of pollution, UV rays, and other environmental aggressors that can aggravate hormonal acne.
9. Calms Redness and Irritation
Redness is a common symptom of hormonal acne, and Calendula is an excellent remedy. Its calming properties work to reduce visible redness and irritation, promoting a more even skin tone and a more balanced complexion overall.
10. Provides Gentle Care for Daily Use
Calendula’s soothing and healing properties make it a versatile ingredient suitable for daily skincare routines. Incorporating Calendula into your regimen ensures consistent care, allowing your skin to heal, stay hydrated, and defend itself against hormonal acne flare-ups over time.

From soothing inflammation to strengthening the skin’s barrier, Calendula offers a range of benefits that help you achieve clear, healthy, and resilient skin.
