Calendula Infused Oil

Calendula Infused Oil - Natural Botanical Oil for Cosmetic Use

Traditional calendula flowers (Calendula officinalis) carefully infused into sunflower oil (Helianthus annuus) creating this golden-hued oil treasured in natural cosmetic formulations. This time-honoured infusion process captures the essence of calendula petals, making it a popular choice for gentle, flower-infused beauty products.

About This Oil

Calendula infused oil is created by macerating dried calendula flowers in sunflower oil over an extended period, allowing the beneficial plant compounds from the petals to infuse into the carrier oil. This oil typically has a distinctive golden to deep amber appearance and a mild, herbaceous scent characteristic of calendula flowers.

Calendula, also known as pot marigold, has been cultivated in herb gardens for centuries and holds a special place in traditional European herbal practices. The bright orange and yellow flowers are carefully harvested at peak bloom and dried before being infused into high-quality sunflower oil.

The infusion process is a traditional method that has been used for generations to create flower-enriched oils. Sunflower oil serves as an excellent carrier base due to its light texture, stability, and neutral profile, allowing the calendula's natural compounds to shine through.

This infused oil has a medium-weight texture that absorbs well into skin. The sunflower oil base provides a stable foundation with good shelf life, while the calendula infusion adds its characteristic golden colour and herbaceous aroma to cosmetic formulations.
