In the 1960’s, Kiehl’s first introduced its Calendula Herbal-Extract Toner, formulated with handpicked Marigold flower petals, which are still placed into each and every bottle by hand. This 50-year-old, iconic formula, quickly became a worldwide customer favorite, selling 1 every 20 seconds globally. Today, Kiehl’s chemists are proud to harness the time-tested power of Calendula in the formulation of the Calendula Deep Cleansing Foaming Face Wash, developed to thoroughly, yet gently clean and refresh skin.

 

Kiehl’s chemists have relied on the power of carefully selected ingredients to balance their highly effective yet gentle formulations, an approach that still continues today. “The first step to achieving healthy-looking skin begins with gentle yet effective cleansing that protects the skin barrier. Harsh cleansers such as alkaline based ones can damage the skin barrier,” states Dr. Adam Geyer, Kiehl’s Product Development Consulting Dermatologist. “Once there are tiny cracks in the skin barrier, it increases the possibility of irritation and allergies. When cleansing the face, using a soap-free formula is an integral part of maintaining the skin barrier function.” Additionally, to nourish, soothe and hydrate the skin, Kiehl’s chemists utilized Calendula Flower Extract for its soothing properties and Glycerin, for its ability to pull moisture from the air to replenish and help keep the skin hydrated.

Refresh your complexion while giving it the deep cleanse it deserves with the soap free and paraben free Calendula Deep Cleansing Foam Face Wash. The formula, designed for those with normal-to-oily skin types, is also safe for sensitive skin. It activates with water, creating a rich and dense foam that gently lifts away impurities, dirt and oil without stripping skin of its essential moisture. Your skin will look instantly refreshed and revitalized.

 

CALENDULA HERBAL-EXTRACT TONER

This gentle, alcohol-free toner contains corn mint oil, which provides a cooling, tingling sensation that refreshes skin. It is also recommended for men, to sooth minor irritations associated with shaving. Nourishing panthenol and herbal extracts such as lavender, ivy, great burdock and allantonin immediately leave the facial skin feeling smooth, fresh and invigorated after each use. This product is recommended for normal to dry or normal to oily skin types.
