Key Ingredients 
CALENDULA
Native to the Mediterranean, Calendula Extract and Calendula Petals are known for their skin soothing properties and are commonly used in skincare products for oily skin types. For many centuries, Calendula has been highly regarded as a herb in both Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese practices.

GLYCERIN
Glycerin is a well-known, effective humectant. Within our formulas, it helps skin retain moisture & soften skin.

Did You Know?
While Kiehl’s has been infusing products with Calendula since the 1960s, the healing properties of this plant date back to the 12th century. Calendula was used as a traditional ingredient in Chinese medicine long before it made it into Kiehl’s cult-favorite skincare products.

How to use
