Cuts, scrapes, chafing, minor burns or skin irritations? Soothe your skin the natural way with Calendula Gel from Boiron.
Guarding the muscles, bones and internal organs, skin is the largest organ of the body, and life can take a toll on this outer covering every day—shaving; exposure to sun, wind and cold weather; minor burns; cuts and scrapes; rashes and insect bites, etc. One of the most versatile, frequently needed and economical finds in a natural products store to help relieve these skin irritations is Calendula.
Undetectable to others, Boiron Calendula topicals have no medicinal smell and are free of artificial colors and perfumes. They are not tested on animals.
Calendula’s wound-healing properties are due to the presence of essential oils, saponins, flavonoids and alkaloids. These compounds have been shown to promote healing. Homeopathic preparations of the flower have been used for generations to speed the healing process.
Since 1932, the Boiron family has focused on improving manufacturing to ensure its medicines are available at a consistent pharmaceutical-grade quality in more than 50 countries. Each year, the quality control team of 60 staff members conducts about 30,000 tests during the manufacturing process.
Boiron Calendula Cream was recently awarded the Parent Tested Parent Approved (PTPA) Seal of Approval. With over 70,000 parents, PTPA Media has North America’s largest volunteer parent testing community.
Calendula is made from its namesake: the Garden marigold (Calendula officinalis). A native to Southern Europe and cultivated widely throughout North America, it offers more than its good looks. This flower has healing power. With its bright yellow-orange blossoms, the Garden marigold has been applied locally for centuries as a natural healing and soothing substance.
One of the most popular homeopathic medicines worldwide, this medicine cabinet staple should be stocked everywhere, including in first aid kits, travel toiletry bags, the kitchen, the nursery, and cosmetic surgeon offices.
Boiron’s Calendula officinalis (or Garden marigold) is cultivated far from industrial or urban areas, farms or roads, and tested for contaminants. No fertilizer or pesticides are used. When in bloom, the flowers are handpicked and rushed to Boiron’s lab. A team of botanists and pharmacists transform the marigolds into a pharmaceutical-grade cream, gel, and ointment.
