Dubbed the ‘sunshine flower’ by Dr Spiezia, Calendula flower (or marigold) is one of our favourite ingredients, and part of most of Dr Spiezia’s formulations due to its array of versatile benefits for the skin. The naturally occurring chemical triterpene (oleanolic acid), found in the petals, tackle the overproduction of sebum helping to control bacteria growth and balance skin cell turnover. Similarly, the high concentrations of antioxidants help to neutralise free radicals and protect against skin damage. Historically used for its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties this ‘miracle’ flower is a panacea for sensitive, delicate or problem prone skin.

• Bespoke techniques during production show a
  positive impact on the matter emitting 1/3 more photons,proving a greater vitality of the active ingredients.
• Higher Thermal activity: better blood & lymphatic flow.
• More luminosity & radiance: higher biophotons emission from the skin.
• Lower entropy: optimum self-organisation at a molecular level resulting in a more effective and uniform interaction with the skin, immediately upon application and ever greater over time.
