effect
Calendula extract, also known as essence of Calendula, is a natural ingredient widely used in skin care products. Its main effects on the skin include antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, sedative, and reparative properties. The main active ingredients of marigold are carotenoid compounds, accounting for about 3% of dried flowers, mainly including lutein, zeaxanthin, carotenoids, and a large amount of lutein esters. Calendula also contains volatile oils, saponins, flavonol glycosides, and terpenes.

Antioxidant: Calendula extract is rich in antioxidant components such as flavonoids and polyphenols, which can help the skin resist damage from external environments such as ultraviolet radiation and air pollution, reducing the rate of skin aging.

Anti inflammatory: Marigold extract has excellent anti-inflammatory properties, which can reduce skin redness, swelling, and pain. It has an auxiliary therapeutic effect on some common skin inflammations such as eczema and dermatitis.

Sedative repair: Marigold extract has a good calming effect and can help alleviate skin discomfort such as itching, burning, etc. In addition, it can also promote skin repair and have a certain auxiliary therapeutic effect on some skin injuries such as burns and wounds.

However, despite the advantages of marigold extract, not everyone is suitable for using skincare products containing marigold extract. For example, people who are allergic to marigold need to avoid using it.
