Calendula oil: the gentle oil from marigold
A mild macerate for sensitive and stressed skin. We sort out the marigold oil honestly.
How to use itAn extract, not a pressed oil
Calendula oil is usually a macerate: marigold flowers are steeped in a neutral base oil, which then takes up the compounds of the flower. It is considered especially mild and is popular for sensitive and dry skin.
The base oil shapes the properties, often it is sunflower or olive oil.

Said honestly
Calendula oil is a gentle, time-honoured care for sensitive skin, but it is care and not treatment, and we make no healing promises. Anyone who reacts very sensitively or tends to daisy-family allergies is better off testing first. For skin problems, the skin belongs in professional hands. We give you the facts, the decision stays with you.
