Suitability

Calendula oil is renowned for its calming and soothing properties on the skin and helps to fight excess oil.

Calendula Carrier Oil can be used alone, but is best added to other carrier oils such as Grapeseed or Sweet Almond, we recommend at a ratio of around 10 – 20% depending upon the desired effect.

An effective blend for post pregnancy stretch marks can be made with a combination of Calendula, Sweet Almond, Rosehip & Sea Buckthorn.
