Daisy-like calendula, an edible herb, was originally used by the ancient Romans who gave it this name because the flowers were like a calendar, blooming monthly. Calendula extracts remain a traditional homeopathic treatment for wounds, inflammation, irritation and to prevent harmful bacteria from residing in the skin. We blend certified organic, pureed Tasmanian calendula flowers into our baby soap to maintain baby’s skin in the best possible condition. It has proven benefits:
- Heals and firms skin: studies show that it may help decrease the healing time of injuries among infants and also help to improve the firmness of baby’s skin and aid new tissue growth in infected areas. It also treats blisters, redness, swelling, patchy skin and it has antiseptic qualities too – helping to prevent infections;
- Assists nappy rash, dermatitis and dandruff: its potent anti-inflammatory nutrients, such as flavonoids and linoleic acid, are antioxidants that defend the body’s pro-inflammatory compounds such as cytokines and C-reactive proteins from damage. Therefore, it can help to treat various skin issues among babies, such as dermatitis and diaper rash. Also, calendula oil hydrates dry scalps;
- Prevents harmful bacteria: Calendula succus, the juice that is secreted from the flower, is a triterpenoid saponin, an anti-inflammatory containing powerful antiviral and antimicrobial components that helps prevent dangerous viruses and bacteria from living in baby’s skin, even antibiotic-resistant pathogens such as those causing candida.
Best of all, our baby skin care soap is not just for babies, it’s recommended for adults too, and especially for seniors. Pamper bub, yourself or a loved one!
