INCI Names:
Calendula Officinalis (Marigold Petals)
Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil (Organic Sunflower Oil)
Calendula A skin healing carrier oil containing the active ingredients of the marigold flower often referred to as Marigold oil. Traditionally used for skin care in the Mediterranean regions to moisturize and protect skin from overdrying. Helps to reduce the negative affects of sun damage to the skin. The anti-aging properties of Calendula oil, known to ancient Egyptians, may be related to the high content and diversity of carotenes, phytosterols, polyphenols and EFAs present in the herb.
Uses - Calendula oil is good for all skin types, and is considered valuable for treating skin damage such as wounds, scars, burns, inflammation and other injuries as it is said to be an effective aid in tissue regeneration. It has anti- inflammatory, anti-spasmodic qualities and particularly blends well with Hypericum (St. John's Wort). Calendula is a tonic, soothing, restorative oil, good for any type of skin, but especially suitable for dry and/or aging skin. When used regularly this product will impart a deep olive shine to the skin, and helps protect the skin from age related thinning and drying out.
It can help increase the skin elasticity and prevent tearing, soothe pain, stop bleeding, promote rapid healing, and prevent scarring.
Used externally, Calendula is one of the best herbs for treating burns, scalds, cuts, abrasions, and infections because of its antiseptic qualities, improving blood flow to the affected area.
Use it as a base for your lotions, lip balms, healing salves or hair care products.
Cautions - No known toxicity, considered safe in normal applications. There are no known drug interactions with Calendula, although occasional interactions may occur in cases of allergic reaction.
Shelf-Life - The shelf life of Calendula oil is 1 year if kept properly in cool dark location, in a glass container. Should be refrigerated for best shelf life.
