Description
Calendula (Marigold) Oil is an established skin care product, a premier soothing and regenerating agent, suitable for irritated, sensitive skin, or whenever the skin barrier needs support. It is one of the most well-tolerated ingredients in natural cosmetics, recommended even for baby skin, for diaper rash, and for postpartum skin care.
A natural macerate obtained by infusing Calendula officinalis flowers in refined soybean oil, stabilized with natural vitamin E. Its distinctive orange color is not decorative; it comes from fat-soluble carotenoids extracted from the flowers (beta-carotene, lutein), which effectively transfer into the lipid maceration base and contribute to the product's antioxidant and soothing properties. The soybean oil base (lecithins, linoleic acid, vitamin E) enhances the extraction of active principles from the flowers and ensures good penetration into the epidermis.

Usage & Synergies
Face care
On the face, Calendula oil is recommended for sensitive, reactive skin prone to redness or mild skin conditions. It can be used pure or as an ingredient in various preparations and formulas.
Practical recommendations
- Pure soothing oil: Apply a few drops in the evening to sensitive or irritated skin. It helps reduce redness and discomfort.
- Ingredient in serum or cream: Incorporate at 20–50% into oily formulas or into the oil phase of creams intended for sensitive, disturbed, or dry skin.
- Anti-irritation mask: Apply generously on the face on its own, or combined with aloe vera oil, leave on for 20 minutes, then wipe off the excess.
Synergies in face care
For sensitive skin prone to redness, the synergy with Bisabolol and Aloe Vera Oil offers a cumulative soothing effect. As a base ingredient in a makeup remover, it can be associated with Macadamia, Sesame, or Caprilis Oil. On post-procedural irritated skin, combining it with Centella Asiatica Oil supports regeneration.
Body care
At the body level, Calendula oil is ideal in formulas for diaper rash, skin with eczema, after-sun, postpartum care, and baby products. It is one of the universal ingredients of natural body cosmetics.

- Soothing after-sun: Apply generously to skin exposed to the sun or mildly sunburned. Natural carotenoids contribute to soothing redness.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why is it in a soybean oil base?
Soybean oil is an excellent solvent for the active principles of calendula, being rich in lecithin and vitamin E, and possessing a lightweight texture that penetrates the skin well. It is a stable and neutral base.
Do the flavonoids from calendula transfer into the oil?
No. Flavonoids (quercetin, isorhamnetin) are water-soluble compounds and are not extracted through maceration in oil. The lipophilic macerate transfers oil-soluble compounds: carotenoids, tocopherols, phytosterols.
Is it suitable for baby products?
Yes, it is one of the ingredients with the best safety profile for baby skin. For safety, a patch test on a small area is recommended.
