Calendula: The Humble Flower Doing Proper Work for Your Skin
Share
Right then, let's have a proper chat about a star player in our balm range – Calendula. You might see it on the tin, but do you know why this humble orange flower is absolutely key to our Utility, Sleep, Working Hands, and Soothing Chamomile balms?
It’s not just a fancy ingredient name, you know. Calendula has been a go-to for skin comfort for centuries, and for good reason. At Usk Valley Herbs, we don't just chuck it in; we use slowly infused Calendula in Sunflower oil because if you want the proper soothing power, you can't rush it. It takes time to get the good stuff out.
What's So Special About Calendula, Anyway?
Think of Calendula as nature's gentle comforter for your skin. It’s brilliant for:
-
Soothes Dry, Cranky Skin: Had a bit of a dry spell? Calendula is fantastic for helping to condition and comfort those rough patches and keep everything feeling lovely.
-
The Everyday First Aid Kit: Got a bit of a rough patch from gardening? Windburn from a blustery walk? Calendula is our go-to for helping to maintain skin’s good condition when it's feeling a bit sorry for itself.
-
Gentle for All Ages: It’s famously mild, which is why it's a staple in our Soothing Chamomile Balm and great for the whole family – from little ones' dry bits to grandad's tough hands.
