Our Calendula oil (Calendula officinalis) is a hand-crafted, small-batch medicated oil prepared using a 1:3 ratio of the freshly dried blossoms. This artisanal extract utilizes alcohol as an intermediate solvent to ensure maximum resin and flavonoid extraction before being infused into extra virgin olive oil. The result is a deep, dark orange therapeutic oil, with potent healing benefits.
Traditionally revered as a gentle yet powerful vulnerary and anti-inflammatory, Calendula oil supports the healing of abrasions, cuts, burns, and other superficial wounds, while soothing inflamed or irritated skin. It is especially suitable for delicate or reactive skin, including use in children. This oil is also valued in the support of chronic skin conditions such as eczema and dry dermatitis, and may be used to support varicosities, congested lymph, and capillary damage.
With its long-standing history in Western herbal traditions—from battlefield medicine to midwifery care—Calendula shines as a multipurpose topical ally, offering both protection and regeneration for the skin. Apply directly to affected areas or use as a base in custom salves and ointments. Like all medicated oils, this should not be applied to active infections.
