Calendula

Calendula officinalis

Calendula flowers are one of the most important ingredients we use in our skincare, because they have TONS of research behind their amazing skin benefits. Plus they use little water and grow easily on the farm! We harvest the flowers in full bloom and then dry them before infusing them in oils or powdering them.

 

100% of the Calendula in our products is grown on our farm.
