Skincare Benefits of Organic Calendula CO2 Extract
Anti-inflammatory:
Calendula CO2 extract contains flavonoids, triterpene saponins, and polysaccharides that inhibit pro-inflammatory enzymes and cytokines, reducing redness, swelling, and irritation. This anti-inflammatory action soothes conditions like eczema and dermatitis, making it effective for calming sensitive skin and promoting overall skin comfort.
Wound Healing:
Calendula accelerates wound healing by promoting fibroblast proliferation, collagen deposition, and tissue remodeling. This enhances the closure of wounds while providing mild analgesic relief, facilitating faster recovery and reducing discomfort associated with injuries.
Moisturizing:
Calendula extract’s emollient properties form a protective barrier on the skin, reducing transepidermal water loss and improving moisture retention. This effectively hydrates dry and sensitive skin, alleviating dryness, flakiness, and improving overall skin comfort.
Anti-aging:
By stimulating collagen synthesis and protecting against collagen degradation, Calendula extract maintains skin elasticity and firmness. Its antioxidant properties further prevent premature aging signs by reducing fine lines and wrinkles, promoting a smoother and more youthful complexion.
Antimicrobial:
Rich in flavonoids and triterpenoids, Organic Calendula CO2 extract inhibits the growth of bacteria, fungi, and viruses on the skin’s surface. By limiting microbial proliferation, it prevents infections and supports the treatment of minor cuts, scrapes, and acne, contributing to improved skin hygiene and health.
Antioxidant:
With potent antioxidants like carotenoids and flavonoids, Calendula extract scavenges free radicals generated by UV radiation and environmental pollutants. By neutralizing oxidative stress, it protects skin cells from premature aging, maintaining skin’s youthful appearance and resilience.
Soothing:
Combining anti-inflammatory and emollient effects, Calendula extract calms irritation, itching, and redness while providing a soothing barrier. It restores skin’s comfort, making it beneficial for conditions like sunburns, rashes, and insect bites, promoting healing and recovery.
Skin Brightening:
Organic calendula CO2 extract promotes skin cell turnover, inhibits melanin production, and fades dark spots and hyperpigmentation. This results in a more even skin tone and enhanced radiance, contributing to a brighter and revitalized complexion over time.
