Ingredient Story and Benefits
Calendula CO2 Oil
Sourced from organic calendula flowers grown on certified organic farms in Germany, this dark brown oleoresin extract is obtained through the CO2 total extraction method. This technique, which requires advanced extraction technology and equipment, utilizes supercritical fluid CO2 to extract the oil, ensuring the preservation of heat-sensitive nutrients and achieving a highly concentrated extract without nutrient destruction. The extract has a characteristic hay-like odor and transforms from a viscous substance at room temperature to a liquid at 40°C.
Calendula contains Faradiol esters, which are known for their anti-inflammatory properties, making this extract particularly beneficial for soothing the skin.
