Calendula Petals
Part of our Ingredient Glossary — educational information about raw materials we may use in our products. We don't sell raw ingredients.
When you see the beautiful golden flecks of Calendula petals in our products, it's a visual promise. It's our way of showing you that the product contains the true, whole-plant goodness of one of nature's most effective skin-soothers. They are not just for decoration; they are a key part of the formulation.
The primary way we use these petals is through infusion. We steep them in warm carrier oils for an extended period, allowing the oil to extract all the beneficial, oil-soluble compounds from the flowers. This golden, infused oil then becomes the potent base for our most healing salves, balms, and baby products.
For centuries, Calendula has been the go-to herb for calming almost any skin complaint. It is incredibly effective at soothing inflammation, taking the heat out of rashes, reducing redness, and supporting the skin's natural healing process for minor cuts, scrapes, and burns. It is the definition of a gentle, powerful healer.
Our vibrant, resinous Calendula petals are sourced from Egypt, where the sunny, arid climate helps the plants produce a high concentration of beneficial compounds. Using these high-quality petals ensures our infusions are as potent and effective as possible.
