Calendula Essential Oil CO₂ Extract | Restorative & Soothing

Calendula Essential Oil (Calendula officinalis) is a highly prized extract known for its exceptional ability to soothe, repair, and protect the skin. Obtained through supercritical CO₂ extraction, this oil retains a full spectrum of Calendula’s active compounds — from triterpenoids and flavonoids to carotenoids and saponins — making it far more potent than traditional infusions.

With its golden-yellow hue and earthy, musky aroma, Calendula CO₂ is a luxurious addition to any natural skincare or wellness formulation. Renowned for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and regenerative properties, it supports dry, damaged, or sensitive skin while helping reduce the appearance of irritation, redness, and environmental stress.
