Healing with Calendula
This was the first cream I made after becoming an aromatherapist. I made it for my step mother who had eczema on her feet so bad that she could no longer wear shoes. Her skin was weeping and would crack and bleed. Everything she tried either didn't work or made it worse.
Within days she was seeing great results. She started giving it to friends and family, nurses and teachers and mains de mariposa was born. She even uses it on her English Bulldog in her "wrinkles" to prevent discolouration and irritation of her extremely sensitive skin.
Watching her suffer really made me aware that there was a real need for effective skin care options. I also saw her spend a small fortune on products that didn't work for her. She spent so much money that I vowed I would make sure people didn't lose money trying this product. It was a natural decision for my company as I believe abundance is best created through mutually fulfilling relationships.

The Story Behind the Success
Calendula is a specific type of marigold flower. It is recommended in place of cortizone cream without the negative side effects. Even most recently by the hospital, for cancer patients suffering chemotherapy burns. Herbalists have been using it for centuries to help heal most surface skin conditions including:

Why use mdm's Healing with Calendula?
Calendula Oil
I infuse my own calendula oil. A slow process. I start with food grade sunflower oil and food grade, organic calendula petals. I warm them together to extract the benefits of the calendula flowers and preserve the integrity of the sunflower oil.

Food Grade Sunflower Oil
Sunflower oil is high in antioxidant vitamins A, C and E so can help prevent the free radical skin damage caused by sunlight and pollution. It is my "go to" body oil so it was a natural choice for this formulation. I love the perfect combination of moisture and nourishment it provides my skin.
It is non-comedogenic, meaning it won't clog pores and it does have some antibacterial properties as well. Because it contains organic acids like oleic, palmitic, linoleic and stearic acids it may help protect the skin from infection.
Food Grade Cold Pressed Extra Virgin Olive Oil
The next main ingredient is food grade EVO. It hardly needs any introduction as it's been used for centuries for it's skin healing properties. Many websites make many claims about it's wondrous healing abilities. It is certainly a great choice for an anti-oxidant oil and t does contain chlorophyll which is said to help speed healing of wounds. I refuse to make outlandish claims but let history prove time and again a good quality olive oil only benefits the skin.

A Few Other Essentials
In my formulation I've then added unrefined shea butter, vegetable glycerin, beeswax & castor oil. Each has a specific reason and role in the formulation. It took almost 7 years to get the proportions right to make a cream that is effective but not greasy. That protects but absorbs well. If you find this cream greasy you are using too much. Feel free to slather it on at night, even on your face as an excellent night cream. During the day, a little is all you need to protect, nourish and heal.
Shea butter - Shea butter is a fantastic moisturizer and skin healer in the right quantities. Too much and it just sits on the skin, too little and it's not effective. This formula with absorb and moisturize perfectly.
Glycerin - Vegetable glycerin has long been used as a choice moisturizer as well. It can also be sticky if not well formulated. Scientists still have not discovered whether it keeps moisture in or draws it from the air. But they are agreed it is beneficial to dry, chapped skin.
Bees wax - A truly natural emulsifier. It also helps add to the protective and moisturizing nature of this formula.
Castor Oil - A thick yellow oil coming from the bean of the castor plant. This oil has been used for years to help "draw things out". it's included in this formulation because many skin conditions are a result of the skin trying to rid itself of something. Our skin is our largest organ and it is constantly absorbing, secreting and filtering. castor oil helps draw out impurities, toxins and other unwanted things. It is especially helpful for weeping eczema.
Sodim Borate - (borax) Sodium borate is a salt found in nature. In this formula it is used well below Health Canada's advisable limits of 5%. If the concentration is equal to or above 0.1% it must carry warnings.
In this formula it is used as a pH adjuster at a rate of only 0.022%
