Calendula CO2 Extract
Calendula CO2 Extract – soothing, traditionally used for sensitive and compromised skin
Calendula Extract is a concentrate rich in skin-beneficial substances, a traditional ingredient valued in formulations designed for skin prone to cracking or sensitization.
It is obtained from dried flowers of Calendula officinalis via supercritical carbon dioxide extraction, a physical process free of residual solvents, inorganic salts, or heavy metals. Yielding 1 kg of extract from 13-17 kg of dried flowers, this ratio highlights a remarkable concentration of active compounds.

I don't know what I would do with it. I use it in many products, from ointments, lip balms, to soap or creams. It's very concentrated.
Very very good! I added it in my hand cream, heals quickly any wound, skin lesion, velvety skin. I highly recommend!
Very very good! I added it in my hand cream, heals any wound, skin lesion quickly, velvety skin. I highly recommend!
A very good and useful extract. I like it. Very concentrated. A little complicated to take out of the box.
An essential cosmetic active, a must in the recipe of any cream maker. I use it in recipes for face and hand creams and the results are on the measure.
a product that I use all the time, as I have a spotty complexion, I try to keep it out of the sun as much as possible. Very satisfied
Marigold extract is something precious, it's like a treatment. I bought it to use in soaps, but I think it's best to use in creams.
It is strongly moisturizing and helps a lot in healing wounds or lesions. Soothes problem skin. I recommend
Effective very quickly for skin problems, dry and dull skin, cuts, sunburn. I recommend
This extract is very rich in phytosterols and active principles that have multiple effects on the skin. It is anti-inflammatory, healing, photoprotective, stimulates collagen synthesis in the skin. Basically, I use this marigold extract to obtain creams for damaged skin, exposed to the sun or affected by environmental factors.
Cel mai bun ingredient din unguentul pe care il fac, pentru maini uscate si talpi, mai ales in perioada de vara, cand calcaiele sant uscate, crapate, datorita factorilor externi. It moisturizes and nourishes the skin at the same time very well and regenerates in maximum 2 weeks. It's very concentrated and I use very little. I recommend !!!
I love this tool. It is ideal for problem skin. Calendula improves skin regeneration processes, strengthens skin capillaries. Very well removes inflammation on the skin.
Being an emollient ingredient for the skin, I have used it in both beach cream and hand cream along with calendula oil.
For beach cream it's excellent, together with the carotene extract and Essesol I worked wonders. Protective and moisturizing beach cream.
Love this extract. Used it in a healing cream for dermatitis, it gave a lovely yellow colour. Nice packaging and easy to grab it.
I’ve used this in hand balms for dermatitis and it has worked very well when everything else that I used would make it more irritated. It is very potent and smells a bit like fresh hay which I kind of like. I have included it at a low percentage in a face cream for redness with a good effect too. I would recommend this for dermatitis issues.
I have used it in a mixture with coconut oil and it is excellent for the skin, it has a warm and pleasant smell.
Very good it was. It is just emollient ingredient for sensitive skin . Can be used sí for soap or shampoo. I highly recommend this ingredient.
