Why look far afield when good things are so close? For Queen of Green, it was clear: Instead of exotic super ingredients from the Scottish Highlands, tropical flowers or roots, we rely on the tried and tested marigold. Calendula officinalis is healing, repairing, protecting, and nourishing, making it our regional skincare miracle – a natural, plant-based active ingredient for vegan skincare in its purest form.
As a pharmacist's daughter, founder Julia Schauer has known the power of marigolds since childhood. Her father developed a legendary marigold ointment, which was considered a panacea in the family for many years: from chapped lips to rough winter cheeks. Thanks to its high fat content, it protects and regenerates even in icy temperatures. This ointment was also the inspiration for our Everyday Balm HELPFUL HELENA.
That's why every Queen of Green stick, from lip balm to deodorant, contains a high-quality CO2 extract from our hero, the marigold – for intensive regeneration, protection, and support of skin health.
