CALENDULA CO2 EXTRACT (CALENDULA OFFICINALIS) - ESSENTIAL OILS

Calendula CO2 total extract is very beneficial for the skin and has a subtle, herbaceous/green, warm, waxy scent. CO2 total extraction of Calendula, while faradiol monoesters are responsible for many of the skincare benefits, there are dozens of other components that complement and enhance the overall effects, making it an ideal addition to topical preparations of all types. Calendula CO2 has a waxy texture and a deep orange color that will appear in the final product.

Caledula petals extracted with CO2 gas (Carbon Dioxide), this is the purest and gentlest way of making botanical extracts without the use of either heat or solvents. This extract is very concentrated as it is a full extraction, which includes the Essential Oil as well as the fat-soluble and water-soluble substances from the plants.

This CO2 extract can be used in both water (not purely water-based products as it is oil-based and so will not mix) and oil-based products.

Calendula CO2 extracts are highly concentrated. For safety reasons, they must be diluted before use – this is standard protocol for aromatherapy and perfumery purposes. This product is solid and waxy at room temperature and must be slowly heated to become pourable. For a massage oil, we suggest combining 5% Calendula CO2 with 95% of another carrier oil.
