How to use

The Ritual:

After cleansing, warm a nickel-sized amount of Calendula Essential Hydrating Cream between the fingers. Massage onto skin in upward and outward motions. End with short, upward strokes on the neck and décolleté.

The Enhanced Ritual:

To encourage lifted features: Starting at the jawline and working your way to the cheeks, apply in upward and outward strokes, finishing on the forehead with an emphasis between the brows.

To stimulate blood flow and reduce puffiness: Starting at the jawline, apply in quick, short upward strokes. Work your way to the cheeks, finishing on the forehead.

To better soothe sensitive skin and redness: Press cream into the skin, avoiding any pulling motions. Use the ring finger to gently apply cream on the under-eye area for minimum disturbance.

For Maximum Holistic Results:

To enhance product absorption: Exfoliate 1-2 times per week with a gentle lactic acid exfoliator (like our Sweet Cherry Brightening Enzyme Peel). This removes dead skin cells and stimulates blood flow, allowing Calendula Cream’s targeted ingredients to absorb deeper and more effectively into the skin.

To enhance hydration: Keep skin damp and apply a targeted serum. (One to try: Plant Stem Cell Booster Serum for firm, energized skin.) Apply Calendula cream over the serum to lock in moisture and double down on results.

Known for its hearty yellow flowers and calming floral scent, Calendula is an ancient healing ingredient that's used in sacred Hindu ceremonies. Alchemists in medieval Europe used it to soothe dry or irritated skin.

    My favorite

    I was recommended this product by my aesthetician and since I received it I have stopped using it. I love the creamy feel when I put it on it leaves my skin hydrated and smooth. It combines well when I occasionally put my BB cream and of course daily sunscreen. I’m on my second bottle and I think I might invest in the bigger bottle. When I was shopping last time it wasn’t in stock.

    Skin so soft and hydrated!

    I have been using this cream for my after face wash lotion and it’s amazing!! I have been using it for 5yrs now. No regrets and I’ll never stop using! It’s saved me skin from any Damage as I was told before I was using it that I had mild skin damage on my face.

    Excellent Product!

    This cream is amazing and has made such a difference in my skin. I have tried La Mer and AB creams and the Naturopathica out performs both.
