What is Calendula CO2-to Extract (Organic)?

Similar to an essential oil, this Calendula CO2-to Extract is a beautiful ingredient in DIY skincare products for sensitive skin. Process it in massage oil, day cream or make your own body lotion.

Calendula CO2-to Extract is made from the calendula flower (calendula officinalis) and is similar to an essential oil. Through high pressure, without heat, a beautiful extract is obtained from these cheerful flowers. The result is an Extract full of active substances, including myristic acid, palmitic acid and carotenoids.

Calendula CO2-to Extract is highly concentrated and must always be diluted in a carrier oil before use on the skin. Looking for a milder variant that you can use directly on the skin? Then check out our Organic Calendula Oil: sweet almond oil in which the petals of the calendula flower have been infused for a long time.
