Calendula
Calendula officinalis · Pot marigold
A bright orange flower rich in triterpenoids, flavonoids, and carotenoids. The faradiol esters in calendula are the compounds most studied for calming the look of red, irritated skin.
What the research says
Reviews of calendula’s chemistry tie its soothing reputation to the triterpene fraction, and researchers have looked at how its constituents may support the skin’s normal recovery process. Studies are studies and a salve is a salve, but the plant has real chemistry worth respecting.
