Calendula Oil | Sensitive Skin

Cellular Nourishment & Skin Barrier Support

Applying nutrient-rich botanical oils to the skin is a time-honoured self-care practice that helps support the skin’s natural moisture barrier and maintain long-lasting hydration. Our Medical Herbalists have selected Calendula officinalis (Calendula Flower), a botanical traditionally valued for its exceptional skin-soothing properties and longstanding use in caring for dry, delicate and weathered skin.

Calendula naturally contains triterpenoids, flavonoids and carotenoids—plant compounds that have been widely studied for their role in supporting the skin’s natural renewal processes and maintaining a healthy skin barrier. Together, these naturally occurring constituents help comfort dry, flaky or environmentally stressed skin while supporting soft, healthy-looking skin.

Comforting Sensitive Skin & Maintaining Skin Balance

Dry, sensitive skin can become more vulnerable to everyday environmental stressors, leaving it feeling tight, uncomfortable and prone to visible redness or irritation.

To help maintain skin comfort, our formulation combines traditionally infused Calendula Flowers with cold-pressed Sweet Almond Oil and plant-based Vitamin E. Working together, these botanicals help nourish the skin, support its natural protective barrier and provide lasting moisture, helping the skin feel calmer, smoother and more balanced throughout the day.

Essential Fatty Acids, Hydration & Environmental Protection

Healthy skin relies upon a resilient lipid barrier to help retain moisture while protecting against everyday environmental challenges. Cold-pressed Sweet Almond Oil provides a lightweight source of naturally occurring oleic and linoleic fatty acids together with Vitamin E, helping to nourish the skin, support the natural moisture barrier and reduce transepidermal water loss.

By helping maintain this protective barrier, the formulation supports the skin’s ability to remain comfortably hydrated despite common environmental stressors such as central heating, air conditioning, cold weather, frequent washing and everyday exposure to the elements.
