Calendula Ferment – Benefits, Side Effects & Uses

by ThankMeNow Editors on Sep 10, 2025
Calendula Ferment functions as a Molecular Buffer. Fermentation increases the concentration of active polyphenols while reducing the presence of potential plant-based allergens. This results in a "cleaner" signal to the skin, helping to down-regulate the alarm response (stinging and redness) more efficiently than non-fermented extracts. It is the ideal primer for an active-heavy routine, ensuring your skin is "quiet" enough to handle high-potency ingredients.
