One of the most wonderful plants of all is calendula; due to its great benefits, it is also called pot marigold, and to this day it has ornamental, culinary, and medicinal uses. These uses stem from one of its active ingredients, triterpenes, which possess anti-inflammatory properties that reduce ailments. It is also used in cosmetics, as it produces soft skin, preventing irritation and leaving a fresh sensation as well as glowing, non-inflamed skin.
Likewise, it is important to know that it also contains acetylsalicylic acid, which contributes to defense against viruses and bacteria. Similarly, products that contain calendula extracts are highly recommended for people with skin sensitive to other active ingredients who require more natural and gentle care.
Rosemary
(Rosmarinus officinalis L.)
For its part, it is an aromatic plant known and used since ancient times as a condiment and for medicinal purposes. The properties of rosemary make it perfect for combating some imperfections like pimples and blackheads. Using it as an astringent or toner can yield very good results.
The scent of rosemary is very intense, which makes it a very good ingredient to mask body odor and prevent pores from clogging when switching from antiperspirant to a more natural solution.
Last but not least, aloe vera is a plant that is gaining more and more strength in the cosmetic field due to its application in beauty and its benefits for the skin; some historians claim that it was part of the beauty rituals of iconic queens of Ancient Egypt, such as Cleopatra. In subsequent centuries, it continued to be used by different cultures as it was attributed with healing qualities.
Among its other great benefits, we have its soothing and anti-inflammatory power; it helps eliminate oxygen free radicals, fights cellulite, fades dark spots, regenerates the skin, and has a calming effect in cases of sunburn.
So, put the benefits of natural active ingredients to the test to promote and further enhance your beauty without side effects, without animal cruelty, protecting the planet, and in harmony with Mother Earth.
