Description

This is the #1 herbal remedy for sensitive, inflamed, and damaged skin.

Our Organic Calendula Oil is an essential "must-have" for every natural first-aid kit and family skincare cabinet.

It is a potent, yet incredibly gentle oil created by macerating (infusing) vibrant Calendula (Marigold) flowers into a nourishing, organic carrier oil. This process extracts the powerful, "skin-healing" compounds (like faradiol) that make this oil a powerhouse anti-inflammatory.

Key Benefits & Uses:

The Ultimate Skin Soother: This is its primary, world-famous use. It is the "go-to" for instantly calming red, itchy, angry, or irritated skin.

Helps with Eczema, Psoriasis & Dermatitis: Its powerful anti-inflammatory properties make it a first-line defence for soothing the discomfort and redness associated with inflammatory conditions like eczema and psoriasis.

Gentle "First-Aid" Oil: It is famously used to help soothe and repair minor cuts, scrapes, insect bites, and minor kitchen burns (after cooling).

Baby Skincare & Nappy Rash: It is so gentle and effective that it is a traditional, cloth-nappy-safe choice for soothing and protecting a baby's delicate skin from nappy rash.

Wound & Scar Healing Support: Traditionally used on healing skin (after a wound has closed) to promote healthy cell regeneration and help minimize the appearance of scarring.

Important Cautions:

Always perform a patch test.

Do not use if you have an allergy to the Asteraceae (daisy/ragweed) family.
