Improve Skin Health
Calendula extract is a commonly used ingredient in many cosmetic products, including ointments and creams. Both human and test-tube studies suggest that the plant is able to improve skin hydration as well as slow down aging signs by increasing the skin’s elasticity and firmness. These benefits are mostly due to antioxidant properties. They can decrease skin damage triggered by oxidative stress. One of the main causes of skin oxidative stress is direct exposure to UV rays. Interestingly, calendula oil can protect your body against these harmful components. [4]
