Heals like beautiful sunshine
Calendula, similar to marigold, is a type of perennial flower that is characterised by a big, beautiful sunshine, orange blossom that is native to the Mediterranean. It is a trusted herb that has been used for centuries by many cultures and traditions, its native Mediterranean region, as well as Ayurveda and traditional Chinese medicine.
Calendula essential oil is extracted from the petals, stems, and seeds (much like rose is typically rose oil). It is commonly used in skin care products. From there it can be formulated into creams, oil blends, and serums. Along with skin care, it can be brewed into tea or used as an herb in foods.
Aroma: Calendula essential oil has a subtle, pleasant, and mildly herbal aroma with a touch of floral sweetness. Its fragrance is gentle and soothing, making it suitable for aromatherapy and natural skincare applications.
