In which products can we find calendula macerate?

The calendula (Calendula officinalis) is a medicinal plant that has been used for a long time in phytotherapy due to its numerous virtues, particularly for its softening and soothing properties. Obtained by the maceration of its flowers in a virgin vegetable oil, the oily extract of calendula is ideal in the design of "natural" skincare for the whole family. Although it can be used pure, both on the hair and on the skin, for various applications, calendula oil can also be incorporated into the design of cosmetic products.

• Lip Care. Chapped, damaged, irritated or dried out by the cold, some lip balms contain calendula oil. It is used to soothe these ailments. Beyond its calming virtues, calendula aids in the regeneration of damaged skin tissues.

• Calming and repairing care. Cream, mask, balm, sun products, after-shave oil, after-sun care... several calendula-based treatments have been developed, whether for the face or the body. Calendula is ideal for softening and soothing dry, sensitive, atopic, sensitised and reactive skin. Indeed, its petals contain faradiol, an anti-inflammatory that helps to reduce redness and calm all kinds of irritation (superficial sunburn, razor burn, insect bites, tightness, minor burns, skin allergies, breastfeeding cracks, etc.).

• Skincare to slow down skin ageing. Another advantage of calendula extract is its antioxidant properties on the skin due to its concentration in flavonoids (kaempferol, quercetin, luteolin, etc.). It is therefore found in the list of ingredients of serums and creams in order to protect and prevent premature cell degeneration. Applied to the skin, it protects the skin against free radicals.

• Gentle cleansing care. For a gentle and protective cleanse, calendula macerate can also be found in certain cleansing products (makeup remover oil, micellar oil, superfatted soap, etc.). It thus allows the removal of impurities and makeup traces on the skin, while soothing skin irritated by external aggressions.

• Baby Care. Massage oil, nappy cream, body and hair wash cream... calendula is also found in products that meet and respect the specific needs of an infant's delicate skin, taking care of both the baby's face and body at every moment of the day. For cleansing or as a daily care, calendula flower extract helps to protect the baby's sensitive skin, prevent and soothe irritations and redness from nappy rash, and regenerate the epidermis. It is also present in creams designed to soothe thenappy rash.

• Scalp relief care. The use of calendula macerate in the composition of hair care products helps to combat inflammation, reduce the risk of irritation and itching which can cause discomfort, and protect sensitive scalps. Found in certain shampoos, it thus allows frequent hair washing, while respecting the sensitivity and balance of the scalp as well as the hair fibre.
