The calendula plant is native to the Mediterranean and Asia, but is now also a popular garden plant. The yellow to golden-orange flowers stand out due to their abundant blooming 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSkincare \u0026amp; massage\u003cbr\u003eMany are familiar with the effectiveness of calendula! The oil can be used pure for many skin problems and is perhaps the best oil for chapped and rough skin. Calendula is also particularly suitable for sensitive or flaky skin and for baby skin prone to (diaper) rash. Thanks to its hydrating and protecting effect, calendula is also a good after-sun oil. Scientific research shows that calendula supports the skin's regenerative capacity. Calendula macerate is also an important ingredient in the Calendula Repair Balm: a first aid for both acute situations and long-term irritated skin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou can use the macerate pure or mix it with, for example, almond or jojoba for a super soothing (baby) oil.

The name macerate comes from the Latin word 'Macerare', which literally means 'to steep'. Maceration is the traditional way to use essential oils and other active ingredients from a plant for the skin. To make the macerate, the plant parts are steeped in good quality olive oil for a month or longer. Then it is sieved and the macerate is ready.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis macerate is a 20% solution of calendula in olive oil.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA natural antioxidant of 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 when making a macerate, macerates are susceptible to fungi and other contaminants. This natural antioxidant improves the shelf life of the macerate!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDid you know that:\u003cbr\u003eHundreds of millions of people in Africa, Asia and South America only use effective, local plant oils for daily skin care;\u003cbr\u003eCalendula or marigold (Calendula officinalis) is an ancient medicinal plant?
