Embrace nature’s healer with Calendula. Rooted in Southern Europe, Marigold Flowers held sacred meaning in Roman and Hindu cultures - decorating temples, rituals, and celebratory garlands. Their bright petals represented cheer and renewal, but their true gift lay in their healing properties. For centuries, they’ve been used in infused oils for wounds, brewed as teas to aid digestion, and prized as symbols of comfort and recovery.
♡ Why we love it: The bright colour of Marigold powder comes from being rich in carotenoids, making them perfect for naturally colouring foods and beauty products. Calendula is abundant in triterpenoids, flavonoids, saponins, and essential oils - all contributing to its powerful yet gentle effects on the skin. It helps accelerate healing, reduce inflammation, and soothe dryness, eczema, and rashes. Its light antimicrobial qualities protect against infection, while antioxidants defend against environmental stress. Calendula can be enjoyed as tea for digestive and cleansing support, or added to your bath or hair rinse for extra nourishment.

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.
Different solvents extract different compounds. Here's what extract to choose based on your goals.
