In the world of holistic grooming, some plants truly stand out — and Calendula officinalis, also known as marigold, is undoubtedly one of them. Behind its golden petals lies a powerful natural remedy for the skin and coat of dogs and cats: soothing, healing, and protective.
A gentle flower with powerful effects
Used since Antiquity for its healing properties, Calendula is now valued for its rich concentration of natural active compounds:
Faradiol: a powerful anti-inflammatory that soothes redness, swelling and skin irritation.
Flavonoids and triterpenoids: strong antioxidants that protect skin from oxidative stress and help regeneration.
Natural essential components: antibacterial, antifungal and anti-itching benefits.
Calendula is ideal for:
animals with sensitive or atopic skin,
areas irritated by clipping, brushing or grooming tools,
preventing cracks, dry patches or calluses,
soothing paw pads,
calming insect bites or razor burn.
How to use it?
Calendula is versatile and easy to integrate into grooming routines:
Calendula oil (herbal macerate): perfect as a massage oil, in pre-shampoo masks or nourishing balms.
Calendula hydrosol: ideal for calming hot spots, diluted in shampoo or used in gentle sprays.
Powder or infusion: excellent in poultices, rinses or homemade compresses.
