Oil Calendula

DESCRIPTION- Our calendula oil is an all-natural, chemical-free essential oil that is derived from the pot marigold flower. The plants are native to the Americas, but some species have become naturalised around the world. It is used in a wide range of products, from medicinal and odorous to cosmetics. In cosmetics, it is used in products like oils, gels, lotions, soaps, shampoos, and sprays.

INCI Name- Calendula officinalis oil

BENEFITS AND USES-

• Our calendula oil helps in cleansing, improving the natural smoothness and gloss of your hair, providing moisture, and protecting against dandruff and lice.
• It is useful for people with acne-prone and flaky skin as it moisturizes and increases blood circulation, giving you smooth, soft, and radiant skin.
• It works as a natural sunscreen lotion that protects your skin against UV rays, pollutants, and toxins and reduces signs of ageing like wrinkles, dark spots, and fine lines.
• It has anti-microbial, anti-bacterial, and anti-viral properties that protect you against viral and bacterial infections, aid in wound healing, ease muscular and joint pain or stiffness, improve organ health, and encourage circulation.
• Our calendula oil is recognized for its smell in aromatherapy therapy for its clarifying, uplifting, and invigorating effects. It reduces emotional stress and anxiety and relaxes your mind and body.

HOW IT WORKS-

• It absorbs moisture from the air and deposits it deep inside your skin and hair.
• It creates a protective barrier that not only aids in moisture retention but also boosts your hair and skin’s natural moisture retention capabilities.

CONCENTRATION AND SOLUBILITY-

• It can be used at a concentration of 1-5%.
• It is soluble in oil and alcohol but is insoluble in water. 

HOW TO USE- 

• Prepare the oil and water phases of your DIY formulation separately.
• Heat both the phases using a double boiler.
• Add our calendula oil to the heated oil phase.
• Add any carrier oil of your choice to the oil phase. We recommend using our almond or coconut oil as a carrier oil. 
• Blend both the phases using a mini-mixer or a mixing spoon to create a homogeneous mixture.
