Calendula Infused Oil

Drying Calendula Flowers

Calendula oil is an infused oil containing the active ingredients of the Marigold flower and is sometimes referred to as Marigold oil. It has been traditionally used for skin care in the Mediterranean regions to help preserve skin freshness, protect skin from over drying, and to help reduce sun-induced wrinkles and sun caused aging during summer time.

The anti-ageing properties of Calendula oil, known to ancient Egyptians, may be related to the high content and diversity of carotenes, phytosterols, polyphenols and essential fatty acids (EFAs.)

True Blue Organics creates Calendula infused oil from the dried petals and sepals of the calendula flowers grown in Karamea and certified organic by BioGroNZ. The petals are harvested, dried and then infused in certified organic sunflower oil.

Calendula oil is good for all skin types, and is considered valuable for treating skin damage such as wounds, scars, burns, inflammation and other injuries as it is said to be an effective aid in tissue regeneration. It has anti- inflammatory, anti-spasmodic qualities.

Sunflower Oil is expressed from the seed. It contains useful amounts of essential fatty acids and a high amount of vitamin E.. The aroma is a faint and sweet, slightly nutty scent. Sunflower oil is good for all skin types for use in beauty and skin care and can be blended with a variety of other base oils.
