CALENDULA

Calendula oil is a natural oil extracted from the vibrant petals of the Calendula officinalis flower, also known as marigold. The oil is typically obtained through the process of infusing the petals in a carrier oil, such as olive or sunflower oil, although it can also be steam-distilled. Calendula has been used for centuries in traditional medicine and skincare for its healing, soothing, and anti-inflammatory properties. The oil is rich in flavonoids, carotenoids, triterpenoids, and essential fatty acids, making it highly beneficial for skin health.

Calendula oil is renowned for its ability to promote wound healing, reduce inflammation, and provide gentle care for sensitive skin. It is commonly used in skincare products such as creams, balms, lotions, and oils aimed at treating conditions like dry skin, eczema, and minor cuts or scrapes. The oil is known for its deep yellow to orange color, a reflection of the presence of carotenoids, which contribute to its potent antioxidant properties.
