What is CALENDULA INFUSED OIL? Calendula herbal infusion oil is a natural oil that is created by infusing calendula flowers (also known as marigold flowers) in a carrier oil. Calendula (Calendula officinalis) is a plant known for its vibrant orange or yellow flowers and has been traditionally used for its potential healing properties in herbal medicine and skincare. The resulting calendula herbal infusion oil is valued for its potential skin-soothing and healing benefits. Here's a breakdown of what calendula herbal infusion oil is and how it's commonly used: Calendula Flowers: Dried calendula flower petals are infused in a carrier oil to extract their beneficial compounds.

Preparation: To make calendula herbal infusion oil, dried calendula flowers are typically placed in a clean, dry glass jar. The chosen carrier oil is then poured over the flowers until they are fully submerged. The jar is sealed and placed in a sunny or warm spot for a few weeks. The heat and sunlight help extract the beneficial compounds from the calendula flowers and infuse them into the carrier oil. After the infusion period, the oil is strained to remove the calendula petals, resulting in a golden-hued oil infused with calendula's properties.
