Description

Calendula infused oil is a carrier oil that is created by infusing calendula flowers (Calendula officinalis) in a base oil, such as olive oil or sunflower oil. Our Calendula is richly infused into Olive oil. Calendula, also known as marigold, is a flowering plant that has been traditionally used for its potential soothing and skin-nourishing properties. Calendula infused oil is particularly popular in skincare and natural remedies. When used as a carrier oil for essential oils, calendula infused oil offers numerous advantages:

Calendula Infused Oil as a Carrier Oil for Essential Oils:

Skin Soothing: Calendula is known for its potential to soothe and calm irritated or sensitive skin. Calendula infused oil can be used as a base to dilute essential oils that also possess anti-inflammatory and calming properties.

Minor Skin Irritations: Calendula infused oil is often used to address minor skin irritations, redness, and itching. When combined with essential oils, it can provide relief and promote the skin’s natural healing process.

Wound Healing: The skin-supportive properties of calendula make it suitable for promoting the healing of minor wounds, cuts, and abrasions. Essential oils with antiseptic properties can complement these effects.

Skin Conditioning: Calendula infused oil can help moisturize and condition the skin, leaving it feeling soft and supple. Essential oils can enhance this effect with their specific benefits.

Aromatherapy Blends: Calendula infused oil’s neutral scent and skin-friendly nature make it an excellent carrier oil for creating personalized aromatherapy blends with essential oils.

Massage: Calendula infused oil can be used as a carrier oil for massages, allowing essential oils to be incorporated into massage treatments. It’s gentle and suitable for sensitive skin.

Scalp and Hair Care: Calendula infused oil can be beneficial for addressing scalp dryness and promoting healthy hair. Essential oils can contribute to overall scalp health.

Baby Care: Due to its gentle nature, calendula infused oil is sometimes used in baby care products. When combined with suitable essential oils, it can provide a safe and natural option for infant skincare.

When using calendula infused oil as a carrier for essential oils, it’s important to follow proper dilution guidelines to prevent skin irritation. Essential oils should be diluted at recommended ratios (usually 1-3%) depending on the essential oil and its intended use.

Look for high-quality, organic calendula infused oil to ensure that you’re using a product with the full range of potential benefits. As with any skincare product, perform a patch test before using the oil blend on a larger area of skin, especially if you have allergies or sensitivities. If you’re uncertain about using new products, consider consulting a healthcare professional or aromatherapist.
