Calendula—also known as the marigold flower—has for centuries been used for skin care and medicinally for soothing inflammation, controlling bleeding and healing damaged tissue. Ideal for dry, dehydrated, irritated and delicate skin, Calendula’s healing properties have been used to provide relief for eczema, diaper rash, burns, acne, and other minor injuries and skin problems as well as fighting the signs of aging. Its essential oils and acids are reported to be antimicrobial and anti-oxidizing agents.

People from many cultures claim that Tamanu Oil (Calophyllum tacamahaca, a tree from tropical SE Asia and Polynesia--also sometimes called Foraha Oil) has anti-neuralgic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antibiotic and antioxidant properties; the thick, dark oil is harvested and cold-pressed from the nut of an apple-like fruit. Pacific islanders use Tamanu oil to treat joint pains, arthritis, bruises, cuts, abrasions, burns, rashes, scars and as an analgesic for sciatica, rheumatism and ulcers. Tamanu oil reportedly promotes new tissue formation, accelerating healing and healthy skin growth, and contains powerful bactericide and fungicide agents that defeat human and animal pathogens. 

Greenberry's exclusive Calendula-Infused Tamanu Oil may be safely applied directly to the skin.

Note: Since the tamanu oil is harvested from the nut of the tamanu tree, those with nut allergies may need to use it with caution.
