Organic Calendula Extract

Organic Calendula Extract (Calendula officinalis)

Calendula (Calendula officinalis), commonly known as Pot Marigold, is an annual herb native to the Mediterranean region with a documented history of medicinal use spanning over 1,000 years across European, Arabic, and Indian herbal traditions. It is one of the most widely used vulnerary and lymphatic herbs in Western herbal medicine and remains a staple of contemporary herbal practice for skin, digestive, and immune wellness.

Calendula belongs to the Asteraceae family and is characterised by its vivid orange and yellow flowers, which are the part used medicinally. It is classified as a vulnerary, lymphatic, and anti-inflammatory herb in Western herbal medicine — categories of herbs traditionally used to support tissue healing, lymphatic wellness, and inflammatory balance. This extract is prepared in 60% alcohol from certified organic Calendula flowers.
