April at Beauty Expert is all about our #BENATURAL campaign. We’ve been celebrating our love for natural beauty, as well as highlighting the many wonderful organic and natural brands that are available on Beauty Expert. That’s why, for this month’s ingredient in focus, we want to focus on Calendula. Also referred to as Marigold, Calendula is an ingredient found in many natural and organic products.
