Highlight from our contributing Physician:
"Amongst all the healing herbs for the skin, Calendula has been reigning Queen for centuries. This golden-orange flower works on a deep cellular level to promote rejuvenation and above-average results for repairing wounds and scars that stubbornly refuse to heal. Calendula’s petals—so rich in vitamin C, provide a healthy, sunny glow to worn skin that is simply unmatched. When prepared with beeswax and other infused oils found in all of Clary Collection’s products, Calendula co-creates a broad-spectrum medicine that goes well beyond our expectations. A medicine so valuable it should be available in every home, Calendula is the true embodiment of Clary Collection." -Dr. Marlene Ehrler
