The healing benefits of Calendula (commonly known as Marigold) were discovered during our Founder, Renee’s early days formulating the Paudha Healing range, as she attempted to find a solution to soothe her own Rosacea condition. Whilst studying Health Science (Naturopathy) and Natural Skincare Renee learned this versatile herb is packed with an abundance of soothing and antibacterial benefits, meaning Calendula fast became one of the most favoured ingredients in our Face, Body and Hair ranges.
Today we shine the spotlight on Calendula and why it is such a transformative herb.
Anti-inflammatory:
Calendula offers anti-inflammatory properties called flavonoids and triterpernoids, that can help soothe and calm redness and irritation. This is particularly beneficial for oily skin prone to acne, rosacea or even psoriasis. Applying the Multi Award Winning Calendula and Chickweed Cream by Paudha Healing can help soothe inflamed skin. Its gentle formula means this cream is suitable for the whole family, including those with sensitive skin, and has even been recognised as a wonderful treatment for nappy rash.

Antimicrobial:
The antimicrobial properties found in Calendula can help with bacteria and fungal problems which may contribute to acne breakouts and skin infections. People with oily skin, which tends to be prone to bacterial overgrowth, cysts and pimples will find this particularly beneficial. You will find Calendula in the NueBar Oily Face wash Bar, a Naturopath formulated cleanser which works well to support acne prone skin.

Antifungal:
Calendula tested as effective against all 23 clinical fungi strains when tested for antifungal activity, making it a wonderful tonic in treating acne as well as dandruff and oily scalp issues, as it effectively cleanses and balances the skin, scalp and hair. The Award Winning NueBar Shampoo for Oily hair with Calendula helps support problems with fungal activity within the hair, which, if left unaddressed, can lead to further skin issues on the face and body.

Antioxidant:
Rich in antioxidants like flavonoids and carotenoids, Calendula can help protect the skin from oxidative stress caused by free radicals. This amazing ingredient also supports cell regeneration, giving it the ability to prevent signs of premature ageing such as fine lines and wrinkles and can even help with scar tissue. The Multi Award Winning Paudha Healing Nourish and Repair Oil is wonderful for supporting ageing skin and can be used morning and night to help protect, restore and hydrate the skin.

Sebum regulation:
With its unique combination of properties, Calendula can help balance the production of sebum, the skin’s natural oils. This can be particularly beneficial for oily skin which tends to produce excess sebum, leading to breakouts and greasy skin and hair.
Hydrating:
Despite its regulatory effect on sebum production, this miracle ingredient will not strip the skin, leaving it feeling dry, rather it will balance the skin’s production of natural oils, leaving it feeling nourished and hydrated, without clogging pores, making it suitable for oily skin types that require balanced hydration. For those with particularly dry skin, we recommend using the Calendula and Chickweed Cream, followed by the Nourish and Repair oil for the ultimate moisturising routine.
Gentle and non-irritating:
Generally known to be gentle on the skin and scalp, Calendula is suitable for those with skin or prone to inflamed skin and allergy reactions. When compared to harsh chemical-based ingredients often found in commercial/high production skincare and hair care products, Calendula is less likely to cause irritation or further inflame the skin.
Boasting a myriad of benefits including, soothing properties, oil production balance, antifungal, antibacterial and antioxidant protection for the Face, Skin and Hair, Calendula is a star ingredient in the Award Winning Paudha Healing and NueBar ranges, with options to support your and your family from top to toe.
