How to use

The Ritual:

In the morning, warm a quarter-sized amount of Calendula Essential Hydrating Cream SPF 30 between your hands and press evenly onto your face, neck, and décolleté.

The Enhanced Ritual:

To ensure complete, lasting coverage: Reapply SPF every 2 hours to maintain optimum UV protection. Swimming or exercising outdoors? Reapply directly after physical activity.

For Maximum Holistic Results:

To increase antioxidant protection: Layering a Vitamin C product (like Vitamin C Revitalizing Lotion or Vitamin C15 Wrinkle Remedy Serum) under your SPF can optimize protection. That’s because as an antioxidant, Vitamin C protects against free radical damage from UV rays, plus pollution and fine dust particles that can clog pores and harm skin.

To protect recently exfoliated skin: If you’ve just done a peel or scrub, your skin is even more sensitive to UV damage than normal. Apply SPF liberally for 48 hours after your enzyme treatment or exfoliation, taking care to ensure high-exposure areas like the forehead and nose are completely covered. Don’t forget your lips, which are one of the most common (and least noticed) places for sun damage. A lip balm with UV protection can go a long way, reapplied about once an hour.

    Terrible Product

    I have been using your products for the last year. Have loved them all up until the Hydration Lotion with SPF. It is very gritty. Initially I thought maybe it's suppose to work as a microdermabrasion. After using it daily for the last few weeks it finally broke me out in a rash. Even shaking the product did not make a difference. Will not be using this product anymore. Bummer.

    Grainy, scratchy, and makes complexion look ashy

    Very disappointed with this product. I feel like I'm scratching my face every time I use it. It's also is a bit thick and pasty instead of creamy so it takes a little longer than other creams to rub in. It has a zinc oxide appearance on skin after running in, so if you have a slightly darker complexion or tan it leaves you looking pasty or ashy. I will not buy this again.

    My favorite sunscreen!

    I love this product and it is my top choice for my everyday sunscreen. It leaves no white residue and unlike some of my other sunscreen products, it doesn’t have a tint, which acts like makeup, which I do not want! Of course , being a Naturopathica product, I know that I can totally trust the ingredients on my skin.

    Best sunscreen!

    It is perfect for those skin types that are super sensitive and can’t do regular sunscreen due to acne and greasy-ness feeling. This sunscreen absorbs well. The only “ick” I have is the scratchiness of the sunscreen texture when you put it on and how it feels a bit rough to spread but ultimately it is really effective and doesn’t make my face greasy!
