Calendula officinalis is an annual herb native to the Mediterranean region. Introduced to England in the 13th century, it became a widely cultivated plant across Europe, with wild occurrences being rare. Its medicinal applications gained prominence during the 13th century, particularly for wound healing. Historically, calendula was utilized in balms and creams for its anti-inflammatory properties, playing a significant role in treating injuries during the North American Civil War and World War I.1
Additionally, this plant species is known to contain a diverse range of phytochemicals, such as carbohydrates, phenolic compounds, and much more, all of which contribute to its therapeutic properties.2 Calendula is commonly used in cosmetic formulations designed for sensitive skin and soothing applications, such as after-sun care. Its versatility allows it to be included in various products for skin, eyes, hair, and baths, with a well-established safety profile for cosmetic use.
