Moringa Oleifera is native to semi-arid, tropical and sub-tropical climates. It grows well in dry sandy soil as well as poor soil. Moringa is considered as one of the world's most useful trees as almost every part of the tree can be used for consumption.

Calendula - Calendula Officinalis

At Starflower Essentials our focus is not only on providing our customers with holistic, food grade organic skin care  products, but also on educating our customers on what goes into our products. Often we hear of a featured single "wonder" ingredient in a skin care product. Each of our ingredients, separetly, could be considered a "wonder" ingredient. At Starflower we blend these vital ingredients together to produce a more potent, long lasting result.

An ingredient we use frequently in our products is Calendula (Calendula officinalis).


Calendula Officinalis

The calendula flower, or pot marigold,  is part of the daisy family and consists of about 12-20 different species. It is most commonly grown from the Mediterranian region to Iran.

Calendula is one of the most valuable herbs for soothing and healing inflammatory conditions of the skin. It stimulates formation of new tissue and gently promotes blood circulation within the cellular structure of the skin.

Dried Calendula

As with all herbs and oils, their uses go back to before the days of modern medicing. Calendula has been used historically as a digestive aid, but has also been known for having anti-inflammatory and anti-viral properties.

Calendula, as used in organic skin care is wonderful for irritated and inflammed skin due to being highly concentrated with carotenoids (vitamin A like compounds), mucilage, glycosides and sterols. It is an essential ingredient for burnsscars and eczema.

The petals of the calendula flower work well in food as well due to its renown properties as a digestive aid. The flower can be used in a variety of foods such as salads, dips and rice. Always check your plants first though before ingesting.

At Starflower Essentials we would recommend for irritated and inflammed skin a regimen that start's with our Rose Cream Cleanser which is a chemical free creamy emulsion that lifts dirt and inpurties. Next, we would recommend that you use our Rose Gold Nutrient Face Toner. Follow with one of our gentle exfoliants and our Herbal Facial Steam one to two times per week. Lastly we would suggest one of our Nutrient Intensive Moisturizers.

Check back daily for the latest in what Starflower has to offer. Remember - nourish the skin, nourish the spirit.
