Active compounds in calendula flowers increase the production of new connective tissue and blood vessels, speeding up the healing process. Calendula is particularly effective at reducing irritation and improving inflammatory skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis. Used in skincare, calendula stimulates blood flow to the skin cells, provides antioxidant protection that reduces the appearance of wrinkles, age spots and scars.
SHEA BUTTER

Shea butter has comedogenic rating of 0-2, meaning that it ranks between noncomedogenic (will not clog pores) and moderately low likelihood of clogging pores.
