Calendula Oil Infused

Whatsapp Order

Calendula Oil Infused is a golden-yellow carrier oil produced by macerating the dried flower petals of Calendula officinalis (commonly known as pot marigold) in a base oil, typically sunflower, olive, or sweet almond oil. This infusion draws out the calendula flower’s active constituents—including flavonoids, triterpenoids, and carotenoids—resulting in a gentle yet potent botanical oil widely used for its anti-inflammatory, healing, and skin-soothing properties.

Renowned in traditional herbalism and modern natural skincare, Calendula Infused Oil is especially valued for treating sensitive, damaged, or irritated skin. It’s a go-to oil in formulations for baby care, wound healing, and after-sun products. Unlike essential oils, this is not a distilled product and is safe for direct application to the skin.
