Description: Organic Calendula carrier oil is extracted using maceration technique from Calendula Officinalis, commonly known as pot marigold and should not confused with true marigold, the latter is known as Tagetes Minuta or organic marigold oil, which serves different aromatic purposes.

Calendula (olive) oil is a versatile therapeutic grade oil that can be used for a variety of purposes, including skin care, hair care, and wound healing. It is made by infusing calendula flowers in olive oil, which extracts the beneficial properties of the flowers into the oil. It is made by slow-infusing sun-dried calendula flowers in Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO), which effectively draws the lipophilic resins, triterpenoids, and healing esters from the flowers into the carrier.

Calendula macerated oil is commonly referred to Calendula infused oil and is widely used for its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties. Calendula infused oil is most commonly macerated in olive oil or sunflower seed oil. Our USDA certified organic calendula oil is macerated in extra virgin olive oil. While some producers use sunflower oil, our USDA certified calendula infused olive oil utilizes cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil to maximize the content of oleic acid and squalene, ensuring deep penetration and moisture retention.
