Natural care for sensitive skin: Organic Calendula Oil

Calendula – the Healer Among Wildflowers

Calendula – Latin for Marigold – is one of Europe's best-known medicinal plants. Bright orange, unassuming in size, yet possessing a power that far exceeds its appearance. For centuries, it has been used in folk medicine for wound healing, anti-inflammatory purposes, and skin care. In our Tyrol soaps, it is a particularly valuable ingredient – for anyone who wants to do something good for their skin.
