Skin Conditioning

Locks in moisture
Traditional Use
Used for centuries in European folk medicine and traditional remedies as a wound healer and anti-inflammatory agent. Medieval herbalists recommended calendula preparations for burns, cuts, and skin irritation, and it became a staple in apothecaries throughout Europe.
