The Calendula flower, most often known as the marigold, has been used since ancient times for a number of purposes. The ancient Egyptians appreciated the marigold for its rejuvenating properties, and the Hindus would adorn their statues with the flower. Calendula also has a history of being used as a food to add flavour and colour to bland cereals, rices, and soups. In the mid-20th century, scientists discovered that calendula can treat a number of skin conditions like cuts, burns, and minor infections.

The calendula flower, which is native to Southwestern Asia, also grows annually in northern Mediterranean countries and Western Europe. With fiery red and yellow petals of the marigold flower are placed through steam distillation in order to extract Calendula oil. However, it’s impossible obtain every bit of oil, so it must be infused with another oil to assist in the distillation. This Calendula oil is infused with Sunflower oil, which is obtained from the seeds of the sunflower and known as a powerful skin emollient.
