Calendula oil is a potent, anti-inflammatory, and regenerative carrier oil derived from macerating marigolds in a base oil (often sunflower, olive, or almond). It is safe for sensitive skin to treat wounds, burns, and dry, itchy skin. It can be applied directly but is frequently mixed with other carrier oils (10-20% concentration) or used as a base for essential oils.
