For years, herbalists have been prescribing calendula oil to protect skin from damaging environmental factors. The anti-aging power of the flower comes from it's naturally occurring carotenoids. Our skin also contains these organic components, but they become less abundant over time. Calendula replenishes these carotenoids in the skin and aids in maintaining a youthful appearance. The oil is usually suitable for people with sensitive and dry skin and may help reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
