Nelsons Calendula Cream - 50g

Nelsons Calendula Cream – 50 g is a soothing, multi-purpose herbal skin cream specially formulated using pure extracts from the Calendula officinalis (Marigold) plant, a traditional remedy known for its skin-conditioning properties. It is designed to calm, nourish and protect dry, rough, flaky or chapped skin on the face, hands and body.

This non-greasy, rapidly absorbed cream helps to hydrate tired or damaged skin, forming a protective layer that defends against environmental stressors and moisture loss. It is suitable for even sensitive skin and can be used as and when required to support the skin’s natural comfort and softness.
