What is Calendula (Marigold) Oil made from?
Dried calendula (marigold) flowers infused into pure sunflower seed oil (Helianthus annuus), standardised to a consistent herb-to-oil ratio.

Is this oil ready to use, or does it need to be diluted?
It's supplied ready to use as a carrier/base oil for your own soap, balm, lotion or other cosmetic formulations — it isn't a finished skincare product on its own.

Is it safe to handle?
Yes. It's classified as not hazardous under the MSDS, with no known allergens. As with any handling of bulk oils, safety glasses and gloves are recommended good practice, and we always suggest patch testing finished formulations.

What can I use this oil for?
Cold and hot process soap, balms, salves, body butters, lotions and other leave-on and wash-off skincare formulations.

Is this oil IFRA certified?
No IFRA certification applies here — IFRA covers fragrance and essential oils, and this is an infused carrier oil rather than a fragrance ingredient.

Does this oil come with a Certificate of Analysis?
Yes — it's batch-tested for microbial purity and heavy metals, with a Certificate of Analysis, Technical Data Sheet and Safety Data Sheet all available on request.

How should I store it?
Keep the container tightly closed, in a cool, dry place protected from sunlight. If stored for more than 24 months, check quality before use.
