This is why the marigold ranks high on the list of our favorite natural plant ingredients at lavera Natural Beauty.

The marigold belongs to the daisy family (Asteraceae) and is a yellow and orange flowering plant. Already in the Middle Ages, the native medicinal plant was mentioned in writing as a remedy for poorly healing wounds and ulcers.
