Calendula Flowers
People have been using the flower petals of Calendula for medicinal purposes for many years. High amount of flavonoids are contained in the plant which is helpful to protect the body against cell damaging free radicals.
The plant has anti-viral, anti-genotoxic, anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects. Calendula flowers contain saponins which produce the anti-inflammatory properties. According to pharmacological studies in Europe, calendula flowers promote metabolism of proteins and collagen. This also means, that they help to grow new, healthy cells.
Calendula is typically used as a local remedy for its antiseptic and healing properties in treating burns, skin infections, punctures, cuts, scrapes, abrasions, blisters, scalds, rashes (including diaper rash), acne and athletes foot.
Sunflower Oil
Sunflower oil is the base in Planet Baby diaper balm ointment. We use certified organic sunflower oil which is unrefined (no degumming, defoaming, bleaching, deodorizing etc.) and are GMO-free. It does not require hydrogenation, a process used in many commercial oils to extend shelf life. The oil is cold-pressed on demand on a local farm where the sunflowers are grown organically without the use of pesticides or herbicides. The oil is bottled quickly to retain all of its nutritional value. It is 100% pure and contains no additives.
Beeswax
Beeswax provides the skin with a variety of benefits, including anti-inflammatory, germicidal, and antibacterial elements. Each of these benefits helps fight against diaper rash by calming and soothing the skin in a comfortable and natural way. It also provides a protective barrier for the skin and helps hold the other ingredients to the skin so they can be effective
