Calendula Serum
Frantsila is a small-batch Finnish herbal house that hand-harvests calendula from their own organic farm — and the Calendula Serum is their flagship soothing treatment. Calendula extract anchors the formula, ascorbyl glucoside (a stable vitamin C derivative) brightens, Lactobacillus ferment supports the microbiome, and Finnish birch sap brings traditional Nordic humectant chemistry. Built for reactive, breakout-prone skin.
Ageless Face Cream
Forty-plus botanical ingredients grown organically on a single Finnish herb farm. Frantsila's Ageless Face Cream is not a product — it's a philosophy bottled. Where most anti-aging creams rely on one or two hero actives at clinical concentrations, Frantsila's approach is phytotherapeutic: dozens of whole-plant extractions working in concert, the way herbal medicine has operated for centuries. The estate-grown herbs (comfrey, red clover, self-heal, yarrow, calendula, plantain, chickweed, St. John's wort, lady's mantle, burdock, wild pansy, horsetail) each contribute different anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and skin-repair compounds. The oil phase is equally diverse: sea buckthorn fruit AND seed oil (different fatty acid profiles), argan, jojoba, evening primrose, avocado, olive, wheat germ. Neroli, rose damascena, sandalwood, and frankincense essential oils provide both aromatherapeutic benefit and active terpenes. The result smells like a Finnish herb garden in midsummer and delivers a kind of whole-system nourishment that no three-ingredient serum can replicate. At €29, this is artisanal Finnish herbalism at an accessible price.
