Organic Calendula Oil

This healing oil made from calendula and organic sunflower oil supports the skin’s regenerative, antiseptic and antimicrobial processes. It contains many biologically active substances – flavonoids, essential oils, carotenoids, lycopene, xanthophylls, polysaccharides, saponins, terpenoids, coumarins, sterols, amino acids, numerous substances with antioxidant properties, calendulin, calendulosides A-F, lupeol and quercetin. It contains a large amount of natural iodine, as well as manganese. This organic extract is obtained by macerating calendula flowers (Calendula officinalis) in high-quality sunflower oil (Helianthus annuus), preserving its natural properties without chemical processing. Cold extraction minimises the loss of sensitive compounds and preserves the full potency of the plant’s bioactive substances.

It works by soothing irritated skin, restoring the skin barrier, providing antioxidant protection against free radicals and supporting cell regeneration. Flavonoids and carotenoids such as lycopene and quercetin neutralise oxidative stress, while polysaccharides and saponins provide moisturising and exfoliating properties. The oil supports the formation of new cells and accelerates wound healing through antimicrobial compounds such as calendulosides. The recommended concentration in cosmetic formulations is 5-20 % for optimal results without sensitisation.

Ideal for dry, sensitive, dehydrated, acne-prone and mature skin, as well as skin affected by eczema, burns or slow-healing wounds. I particularly recommend it for babies’ sensitive skin, people with atopic dermatitis and adults with oily, acne-prone skin, where it reduces inflammation and clogged pores. Its light texture does not weigh the skin down, making it suitable for anyone looking for a natural alternative to synthetic healing treatments.

A study published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology (2011) demonstrated that calendula extract at a concentration of 2 % significantly accelerated wound healing in rats, with the treated group showing a 68 % reduction in inflammatory markers after just 7 days compared with the control group. Further research in Phytotherapy Research (2008) reports that calendula carotenoids at a dose of 10 mg/kg reduced oedema by 45 % and supported collagen formation in a model of skin inflammation.
