The calendula plant is native to the Mediterranean region and Asia but is now also a popular garden plant. The yellow to golden-orange flowers stand out due to their exuberant bloom from early spring to late autumn. The Latin name also indicates this: the name calendula is derived from 'calendae' which means the first day of the month. \r\u003cbr\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003eSkin care \u0026amp; massage \r\u003cbr\u003eFor many, the effectiveness of calendula is well known! The oil can be used pure for many skin problems and is perhaps the best oil for cracked and chapped skin. Calendula is also particularly suitable for sensitive or flaky skin and for baby skin that quickly tends to (diaper) rash. Thanks to its moisturizing and protective properties, calendula is also a good aftersun oil. Scientific research shows that calendula supports the skin's healing ability.

The name macerate comes from the Latin word 'Macerare', which literally means 'to soak'. Macerating is the traditional way to use essential oils and other active substances from a plant for the skin. To make the macerate, the plant parts are soaked in good quality olive oil for a month or longer. It is then strained, and the macerate is ready.\r\u003cbr\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003eThis macerate is a solution of 20% calendula in olive oil.\r\u003cbr\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003eA natural antioxidant from rosemary CO2 extract has been added to this macerate. This organic CO2 extract comes from the needles of the rosemary plant and is dissolved in sunflower oil. A small percentage of this natural antioxidant is added to the macerate by the farmer. Because fresh flowers, leaves, or roots are used in making a macerate, they are vulnerable to fungi and other contaminants. This natural antioxidant benefits the shelf life of the macerate!\r\u003cbr\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003eDid you know:\r\u003cbr\u003eDid you know that hundreds of millions of people in Africa, Asia, and South America only use effective, local plant oils for daily skin care; \r\u003cbr\u003eDid you know that calendula or marigold (Calendula officinalis); an ancient medicinal plant?
