In All Seasons, Calendula is Your Skin’s Best Friend!

Brightly colored Calendula Flowers have been revered by herbalists for centuries. Our Pure Calendula Oil and Salve are two of our signature products. So simple—and simply wonderful!—for so many applications. We call them the good for everything salve and oil.

Autumn weather is still inviting in some places, sunny and warm. Calendula Oil and Salve are soothing for bug bites and sunburns, and may even have some protective effect as a sunscreen. Hands cut up or dried out from gardening? Calendula Salve takes care of that fast!

As the season moves along elsewhere, we're spending more time in heated indoor spaces—and drier air tends to aggravate chapped skin and rashes. Calendula Oil and Salve are great for moisturizing those dry spots, reducing the effects of aging on skin, and relieving dry, itchy scalp.

A summary of the herbal lore notes Calendula's value “…as an ointment or oil for burns, bruises, and injuries… boils and accesses… sore nipples, yeast infections, shingles, bedsores, sprains, varicose veins, acne, pulled muscles, sores, warts… wasp or bee stings.”

David Winston adds, “anti-fungal, antibacterial, and a styptic… athlete’s foot, insect stings, bacterial vaginosis, cervical dysplasia, and vulvodynia.”

Some issues can be troublesome in any season...

Calendula Salve is terrific for treating and preventing diaper rash.
Calendula has been proven effective for helping to heal venous leg ulcers.
Calendula can prevent the dermatitis and pain that are common side effects of radiation treatments for cancer.
Healing cuts and wounds is one of Calendula’s super powers, from the battlefields of the US Civil War to modern obstetrics—mothers recovering from cesarean sections healed their incisions faster, with less pain, using Calendula ointment.

For a super easy-to-use Calendula product, our Pure Calendula Salve is hard to beat: it absorbs into your skin readily and won’t stain your clothes.

Pure Calendula Infused Oil is more concentrated, and also serves as a great ingredient for making your own salves, soaps, massage blends, and so on.

Both products are certified organic, and handmade with love in our shop. Try them, you’ll like ‘em!
