Mode Of Action

Topically applied calendula extracts help fissured and injured skin. Extracts from calendula blossoms are bacteriostatic and suppress both inflammation and leucocyte infiltration. These anti-inflammatory effects are produced by triterpenoids. Through their stimulating effect on the metabolism of glycoproteins, nucleoproteins and collagen, calendula extracts help stimulate skin regeneration and epithelialization, thus improving wound healing. In vitro, calendula extracts were even found to have anti-HIV activity.

Recommended Uses

• As fatty oil extract from calendula blossoms with properties generally beneficial to the skin, Calendula Oil CLR is suitable for preventive care of normal, dry or sensitive skin (inc. baby skin).
• Preparations with Calendula Oil CLR are especially suitable for application to rough, brittle, chapped or otherwise slightly damaged skin (worn hands, sunburn).
• It can be used in emulsified and oily skin care products.

Processing

Due to the natural character of the product slight turbidity might occur at temperatures below approx. 20°C. Calendula Oil CLR tolerates short heating to the temperatures required for the manufacture of emulsified preparations. Cosmetics with Calendula Oil CLR have a yellowish (skin oils) to ivory (creams, liquid emulsions) tinge.
Cosmetics with Calendula Oil CLR can be perfumed without difficulty.
