Escentia Calendula Infused Oil is a botanical oil infusion of Calendula officinalis in grapeseed oil, used in skincare, body care, and balm formulations where a gentle, soothing oil base is desired. It is especially popular in facial creams, salves, body oils, and products for dry or delicate-feeling skin because it offers a light, conditioning feel without a strong aroma. As this is an infusion in grapeseed oil rather than a concentrated calendula extract, it has a milder scent and a more versatile carrier-oil style profile. It can be used on its own or as part of a finished cosmetic formulation.

♡ Why we love it: This is one of those beautifully versatile infused oils that works across so many gentle skincare applications. We love stocking it for makers who want a soft, easy-to-use botanical oil that fits just as well in baby care blends as it does in creams, salves, and body oils.
