Calendula is applied to the skin to reduce pain and swelling (inflammation) and to treat poorly healing wounds and leg ulcers.

Shea butter: Is a fat extracted from the nut of the African shea tree (Vitellaria paradoxa). The concentration of natural vitamins and fatty acids in shea butter makes it incredibly nourishing and moisturizing for skin. Thanks to some other special properties, shea butter does more than moisturize… it delivers key anti-inflammatory and anti-aging components right into the skin. Olive Oil: Is how we refer to the oil obtained from the fruit of olive trees. The best and most widespread use for olive oil is as an intense moisturizer. It works great as an allover treatment for extra-dry skin. Organic Coconut Oil: Is made by pressing the fat from the white “meat” inside the giant nut. Coconut oil is used in many natural beauty products, and for good reason: It's naturally antibacterial and anti-fungal as well as an excellent moisturizer.
