Our Calendula CO2 total extract is very beneficial for the skin and has a subtle, herbaceous/green, warm, waxy scent. It is a welcome addition to body and bath preparations due to its nourishing properties and warm, comforting aroma. Calendula CO2 is extracted from Calendula officinalis, commonly known as pot marigold, and is not to be confused with true marigold – Tagetes minuta, T. bipinata – from which comes the essential oil known as Tagetes.
Calendula is a charming and vigorous garden plant with bright, toothy orange and yellow blooms; it is well-known for its tolerance to poor soils in a wide range of climates and its robust ability to thrive. The traditional use of Calendula is legendary – the flower petals are edible and add brilliant color to green salads, the bright orange flower heads have been utilized as a fabric dye, and various extracts and infusions of the plant have been revered in skincare and cosmetic preparations for hundreds of years.
In this CO2 total extraction of Calendula, while faradiol monoesters are responsible for many of the skincare benefits, there are dozens of other components that complement and enhance the overall effects, making it an ideal addition to topical preparations of all types. Please remember that Calendula CO2 has a waxy texture and a deep orange color that will appear in the final product.
