Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract

INCI Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract

Soothing Botanical Botanicals & Antioxidants

What it is & what it does

Calendula Flower Extract is a calming botanical rich in flavonoids and triterpenoid compounds.
WHAT IT IS: Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract is a flower-specific marigold botanical used for soothing and skin-conditioning purposes.

HOW IT WORKS / WHAT EVIDENCE SHOWS: The flower extract may contain flavonoids and triterpene-related constituents, depending on extraction and processing. Experimental anti-inflammatory findings are not a substitute for human finished-product data, and even studies of calendula preparations may use different vehicles or concentrations.

IN A REAL SKINCARE ROUTINE: It should not be described as identical to every generic calendula extract, nor as a guaranteed treatment for dermatitis. The final formula, dose and quality of supporting research determine how far any claim can go.

Usage & cautions

Asteraceae allergy is possible; patch test and seek medical care for serious inflammation.
Information approach Consumer-friendly summaries are informed by established cosmetic ingredient references such as INCIDecoder and Paula’s Choice Ingredient Dictionary, while avoiding turning ingredient-level evidence into medical claims about the finished product.
