I used the calendula balm after a pretty rough experience in a nail salon, my fingers had been left sore and irritated, but the balm was soothing and sorted me right out. Would recommend to others.

Response from the owner 19:57 02 Apr 24
Super Georgette. Amazing to hear that the Calendula balm worked even some time after you received the burn. Great to get this feedback. Thank you.

I have worked in the hot Australian sun for 40 years with no gloves, often cutting my hands badly while fencing , using barbed wire. My hands have been badly sun damaged and lots of small scarring. Since using your calendula ointment for just 2 weeks the dark spots and scarring have visibly reduced quite significantly. Nothing I have used previously has worked. Thankyou for this remarkable ointment. I will be ordering more !' -Steven Prowse, Australia.

Thanks so much Steven for taking the time to share your positive experience using our Calendula Balm. Working hands deserve some nurture. Really glad that it worked for you.

I've been using Karuna Essentials Calendula Oil for the past few months. Having used other (much more expensive) facial oils for many years, this gorgeous calendula oil loves my skin! It doesn't feel greasy but rich and moisturising, I use it every night before bed and it has made a different - I'm now a customer for life!
I've also used the Calendula Balm which is brilliant for insect bites and skin irritations (from gardening), smells divine too and a little goes a very long way! (here's a pic of my Calendula Balm away in Lanzarote with me in the summer!)
Brilliant products, and I love that they're handmade and homegrown in the west of Ireland, from natural ingredients - less of a carbon footprint too! :)
