Essential Therapeutics Infused Calendula Oil 100ml
Herbal infused oils are traditionally made by macerating herbs in vegetable oil for a period of time. The vegetable oil serves as a weak solvent that removes some of the beneficial compounds from the herb that are soluble in the oil. All our Herbal Infused Oils are made with 100% pure & natural dried herbs of the correct species, locally sourced wherever possible.

The infused oil contains small amounts of essential oil, triterpene alcohols, including α- and β-amyrin, taraxasterol, calenduladiol, arnidiol, carotenoids (especially beta-carotene) and other phytosterols. Calendula especially contains the triterpene alcohol, faradiol and its monoester, considered to be the most active constituents.
Base ingredients: Sweet Almond oil, Vitamin E, Amiox antioxidant
