Kiehl's, which has its roots in a New York apothecary(*3), has been providing skincare products since its founding in 1851. We'd like to introduce the appeal of calendula petals(*1) contained in Kiehl's Herbal Toner CL Alcohol-Free (hereinafter referred to as Calendula*2 Toner), Kiehl's No. 1(*4) best-selling lotion, which has remained beloved worldwide since its launch in the 1960s.
Calendula*2 Toner's Attention to Ingredients and Effects
Calendula*2 Toner, nicknamed the petal lotion, contains many calendula petals(*1) inside its bottle. Calendula petals have long been known as "skin guards" and are said to have been used to heal soldiers' wounds during the Civil War. Scientific evidence has shown that these petals (*1) contain ingredients with skin-conditioning properties. Kiehl's pursues the skin-conditioning properties of calendula and maximizes the effects of the petals (*1). In addition to calendula flower extract (*5), Kiehl's formulates with generous amounts of calendula petals (*1). The skin surface is constantly affected by various factors, including the external environment (*6). Summer is especially stressful, with UV rays causing sunburn, redness, and enlarged pores. Furthermore, during times of increased skin sensitivity, such as during the transition between seasons, our Calendula (*2) Toner delivers the benefits of two calendula ingredients to condition skin, helping to prevent skin problems even during sensitive seasons. With a refreshing feel, it can be used daily, regardless of season, gender, or skin type, to help keep your skin cool and healthy this coming season.

Commitment to Manufacturing Methods
Committed to skin gentleness and effectiveness, Kiehl's harvests calendula petals grown without pesticides on vast farms in Egypt. Since its launch, the calendula petals have been hand-picked and hand-sorted to avoid damaging them. The calendula is then dried in the sun without the application of heat, using a scientific method. After sowing the seeds, the process of cultivation, harvesting, and sun drying takes approximately 9 to 10 months before the product is made. Unused petals and stems are returned to the soil as fertilizer for future calendula cultivation, making this an earth-friendly product that practices sustainable cultivation.
The vibrant gold color of calendula(*2) toner comes from extracts that are slowly absorbed and slowly extracted from the petals. For over 60 years, we have maintained our commitment to delivering the powerful effects of the flower extract(*1) to our customers without compromising it.
