Calendula lip balm – skin benefits:

Calendula ointment is an age old ingredient for treatment of wounds. There is a study that found a significant decrease in the healing time for women who had C-section scars when they used calendula, compared to others who just got the standard hospital care. This is due to the calendula’s ability to increase blood flow and oxygen to the skin. This brings more nutrition to your skin, which makes it heal quicker and look healthier.

Your skin also has a barrier and many colonies of bacteria that work together to keep your skin healthy, hydrated and keep things like pollution and free radicals out. This barrier can get damaged and calendula along with the other natural ingredients can help restore it, by creating a thin layer, protecting it and helping keep moisture in.

Calendula has potent anti-inflammatory properties and can help calm inflammation and dry skin irritations. It is amazing for nappy rash and helps ease and sooth eczema.
