Calendula officinalis is also recognized as an official drug by 'The Dispensatory of the United States' (23 Edition), The United States Pharmacopoeia, and The Pharmacopoeia of Great Britain.

Calendula or European Pot Marigold receives rave reviews by the Pharmacopoeia as "a local application in various conditions of the skin and mucous membranes and even as a stimulant to wounds and ulcers."

Lakon Herbals employs the brilliant orange species which contain greater levels of the "carotene rich" calendulin.

This is a very soft version of a salve and is much like the Apothecary creams of old. It is made from many of the same botanicals as our White Pond Lily Skin Care formula, without the lily and the rose, but with an extra high concentration of vitamin rich Calendula.

We recommend this cream for daily use on normal skin after washing or bathing. It has a small amount of beeswax to solidify it enough to keep it on the skin for slower penetration of dry areas. Due to the high levels of organic ingredients this cream will be completely absorbed by the skin and will not leave a greasy residue. The healing properties of Calendula are widely renowned. For the medicinal advantage of Calendula please consult an herbalist or herbal text.

Ingredients: Olive Oil, Calendula, Borage, Mallow, essential oils of Lavender and Eucalyptus and beeswax.

Customer Testimonials:

Hi Jayne, Happy New Year! The essential care calendula skin cream is incredible. In the cold and raw Maine weather we are using it on our faces before and after we go out to walk the dog and to ski. And we often use it as a body cream too. It is perhaps the finest skin care product (and the most versatile one) that we have used. We love the yarrow liniment as well. So glad that I discovered Lakon Herbals and that you offer these wonderful products. Regards, Brenda January 11th 2009

Lakon Herbals
To whom it may concern;
I would like to take this opportunity to write a testimonial about Essential Care Skin Cream for hands and face. I have never written a testimonial before, but I feel it is very important to commend Lakon Herbals for their product.

My profession as a sailor for twenty-four years has damaged the skin on my hands and face, terribly. I was looking ten years older than my age. Acne was a problem from the creams and sunscreens I was using. I started using Essential Care Cream and within two days friends were telling me how great I was looking. One man I had not seen in two months was so surprised at my younger appearance. My wrinkles have diminished and my acne is ten times better. Thank you Lakon Herbals for making me feel and look younger then my age.

Sincerely,
M.A.J.
