Organic Calendula CO₂ Select Extract is a concentrated botanical extract obtained from the flowers of Calendula officinalis using supercritical CO₂ extraction. This gentle extraction method helps capture the lipophilic, skin-conditioning compounds naturally present in calendula flowers, creating a rich golden extract ideal for luxury skincare, facial oils, balms, creams, body oils, and anhydrous cosmetic formulations.
Calendula has long been treasured in traditional botanical skincare for its soft, comforting, and gentle character. In cosmetic formulations, Calendula CO₂ Select Extract is valued for its naturally occurring carotenoids, triterpenes, phytosterols, flavonoid-related compounds, and other botanical constituents that make it especially attractive for products designed to support the appearance of calm, soft, healthy-looking skin.
Aromatically, Organic Calendula CO₂ Select Extract has a mild herbal-floral profile with soft hay-like, warm, earthy, and slightly sweet notes. Its aroma is gentle and not overpowering, making it easy to blend into facial oils, baby-care-inspired formulas, after-sun oils, sensitive-skin-inspired products, balms, salves, body butters, and premium botanical skincare.
