Calendula-Infused Oils

Gentle botanical care for dry, delicate-feeling skin.

The calendula oil we use is made with certified-organic Calendula officinalis flower extract in certified-organic, cold-pressed sunflower seed oil, with natural vitamin E.

Calendula flowers do not produce a traditional pressed oil. Instead, their oil-soluble botanical compounds are extracted and carried in a nourishing plant oil.

The Science

Calendula flowers contain several groups of naturally occurring plant compounds, including carotenoids, flavonoids, and triterpenoids. These compounds have been studied for their antioxidant and skin-soothing properties.

In our calendula oil, sunflower seed oil acts as both the extraction medium and the carrier oil. It provides essential fatty acids—particularly linoleic acid—and functions as a lightweight emollient that helps soften and condition the skin.

Natural vitamin E contributes additional antioxidant protection and helps slow oxidation within the oil.

In skincare, calendula-infused oil helps:

  • Condition dry, delicate-feeling skin
  • Support a softer, smoother skin surface
  • Provide lightweight emollient moisture
  • Calm the uncomfortable feel of dryness
  • Deliver calendula’s oil-soluble botanical compounds

Why We Use It

We use calendula-infused oil to bring gentle botanical conditioning to our richer balm formula. It complements tallow, shea butter, and beeswax while helping the finished balm spread smoothly over dry, vulnerable-feeling areas.

On the Skin

Calendula-infused oil helps dry, delicate-feeling skin feel softer, calmer, and comfortably nourished. The sunflower oil provides lightweight conditioning while the calendula extract adds gentle botanical support.
