Description
Calendula Oil is a classic macerate, obtained by infusing the sunny flowers of Calendula Officinalis in a nourishing soybean oil base, enriched with natural vitamin E. This extract is one of the mildest and most versatile dermatological remedies, recognized for centuries for its exceptional soothing and repairing properties, ideal for the delicate skin of babies or for sensitive skin.
Rich in carotenoids, flavonoids, and essential fatty acids, calendula oil acts as a protective balm, reducing inflammation and accelerating the skin's natural healing processes. With a warm yellow-orange color and a discreet herbal scent, it is the indispensable "first aid oil" in any home, being effective for irritations, redness, cracked skin, and care after sun exposure.

editor_choice Recommendations for use and Synergies
Facial care
Calendula Oil is ideal for sensitive, reactive or dry skin. It is a blessing for skin affected by couperose or rosacea, visibly reducing redness. It is also an excellent and gentle makeup remover.
Practical recommendations
- Soothing makeup remover: Massage the face with calendula oil to dissolve makeup and impurities, then wipe with a damp pad. Leaves the skin velvety, without a "tight skin" sensation.
- Serum for irritated skin: Apply in the evening to red or inflamed areas. The anti-inflammatory action will soothe the complexion overnight.
- Repairing lip balm: Apply to lips cracked by wind or cold for rapid healing.
Synergies in facial care
For sensitive skin, it combines perfectly with Sweet Almond Oil and Bisabolol. For couperose, associate with Tamanu Oil and Roman Chamomile Essential Oil. For mature, dry skin, add Avocado Oil.
Hair care
Although less known for hair, it is excellent for sensitive, irritated, or itchy scalps.
Practical recommendations
- Treatment for irritated scalp: Massage the scalp with slightly warmed oil before shampooing. Calms itching and reduces follicle inflammation.
Synergies in hair care
For sensitive scalp, combine with Coconut Oil and Lavender Essential Oil.
Body care
This is the primary use of this oil. It is indispensable for baby care (massage, diaper rash), for the cracked skin of hands and heels, or after epilation/shaving.
Practical recommendations
- Baby massage oil: Use as is for the daily massage of the baby. It is safe and protects delicate skin.
- Soothing after epilation: Apply immediately to the epilated area. Reduces redness and prevents the appearance of folliculitis.
- Treatment for cracked hands: Massage hands in the evening and wear cotton gloves. Calendula speeds up the healing of fissures.
- After-sun care: Soothes mild sunburns and hydrates "tight" skin.
Synergies in body care
For irritations, the supreme synergy is with St. John's Wort Oil and Lavender Essential Oil. For very dry skin, combine with Shea Butter. For stretch marks (prevention), associate with Wheat Germ Oil.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Is it safe for babies?
- Yes, it is one of the safest oils for babies, being traditionally used for diaper rash and daily care. However, we recommend a test on a small area initially.
- Why is it in soybean oil?
- Soybean oil is an excellent solvent for the active principles in calendula, being rich in lecithin and vitamin E, and having a light texture that penetrates the skin well. It is a stable and neutral base.
- Does it stain clothes?
- It can slightly stain white fabrics if used in excess, due to the natural carotenoids (yellow color). Stains usually come out when washed.
- Is it comedogenic?
- Soybean oil has a medium comedogenic rating. For very oily or acne-prone skin, we recommend prior testing or use only on affected areas, not on the entire face.
Technical data, quality
The macerate is obtained by infusing dried Calendula Officinalis flowers in refined soybean oil (non-GMO), at a controlled temperature, to extract lipid-soluble compounds.
The main active compounds are:
- Faradiol (Triterpenes): The main compound responsible for the strong anti-inflammatory effect.
- Carotenoids (Flavoxanthin, Lutein): Antioxidants that promote re-epithelialization.
- Flavonoids: Protect blood vessels and reduce capillary fragility.
- Linoleic Acid (from the soybean base): Restores the skin barrier.
- Vitamin E (Tocopherol): Added for stability and antioxidant effect.
Warnings, Safety data
General precautions
- Cosmetic product for external use. Do not ingest.
- Avoid contact with eyes.
Safety in use
Calendula belongs to the Asteraceae family. People with known allergies to plants in this family (ragweed, chamomile) should be cautious, although reactions to the macerated oil are rare.
Storage, keeping
- Store in a dry place, away from light and heat (soybean oil can oxidize in light).
