Celebrate the soothing power of Calendula. Native to Southern Europe, Marigold Flowers were revered in both Roman and Hindu traditions - used by the Romans in rituals and food, and woven by Hindus into sacred garlands and offerings. Their place in culture was not only for their golden beauty but also for their remarkable healing qualities. Traditionally, they were infused into oils for wound care, brewed into teas for digestion, and cherished as a symbol of warmth, joy, and renewal.
♡ Why we love it: The radiance of Marigold comes from their abundance of carotenoids, making them a natural choice for adding warm colouring to foods and cosmetics. Calendula is also rich in active compounds like triterpenoids, flavonoids, saponins, and essential oils. It’s famously gentle on the skin - supporting faster healing, easing inflammation, and calming irritation from eczema, rashes, or sunburn. With mild antimicrobial benefits, it helps protect small cuts, while its antioxidants defend against oxidative stress. Calendula tea can also assist digestion, support detoxification, and be added to soothing bath blends or nourishing hair rinses.

Most effective calendula extracts
- Oil: Most effective for Calendula’s skin-healing compounds, carotenoids and some flavonoids. The fat-soluble compounds are responsible for much of Calendula’s anti-inflammatory, skin-regenerating, and soothing properties.
Oil infusions are ideal for making salves, balms, creams, and massage blends that target wounds, rashes, eczema, and general skin repair. - Alcohol: Strong at extracting both fat-soluble and water-soluble actives.
Alcohol-based tinctures are useful for internal digestive support (in small, guided doses) and can also be diluted for wound washes or added to sprays. Works best at 40-60% ethanol. - Water: Pulls out water-soluble flavonoids, mucilage, and a small amount of saponins.
These give Calendula teas and infusions their gentle digestive, soothing, and mild antimicrobial benefits. Great for drinking, compresses, skin washes, and hair rinses, but it does lack the high concentration of anti-inflammatory triterpenoids that oil or alcohol extracts. - Vinegar: Extracts flavonoids, acids, and some carotenoids.
Useful in herbal hair rinses (adds shine, soothes the scalp) and in compresses where gentle astringency is helpful. Medicinally weaker than oil or alcohol for wound healing, but great for culinary herbal vinegars or beauty rinses.
