SOWÉ Botanic Lab's Calendula Oil is much more than a simple vegetable oil; it's a true flagship product for soothing and protective care. Hailing from France, it is obtained through a cold maceration process in organic sunflower seed oil, ensuring the complete integrity of its precious active ingredients. This COSMOS Organic certified treatment acts as a natural shield: it regenerates the hydrolipidic film to limit water loss and restore suppleness and radiance to even the most parched skin.

Its strength lies in its biomimetic composition (similar to the skin's natural lipids), which allows for maximum affinity with the epidermis. It doesn't just hydrate; it restructures tissues, helps reduce the appearance of small marks, and provides great comfort to skin prone to redness or chronic discomforts (such as atopic-prone skin or after sun exposure) thanks to its softening properties. Versatile, it works wonders as a hair treatment to soothe the scalp and restore shine to dry ends. True to SOWÉ's philosophy, it is cold-formulated and presented in a protective bottle for optimal preservation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is calendula oil and how is it made?

Calendula oil is a macerated oil obtained from the flowers of the pot marigold (Calendula officinalis), a plant with powerful medicinal properties. It is made by macerating dried flowers in a vegetable oil (often sunflower, olive, or jojoba) for several weeks, at room temperature or gentle heat. Native to Europe and Asia, calendula is cultivated organically or artisanally to preserve all its soothing, restorative, and anti-inflammatory properties.

Is calendula oil good for eczema?

Yes, calendula oil is very effective at soothing itching and irritation caused by eczema. Thanks to its natural anti-inflammatory properties, it helps calm flare-ups and promote skin regeneration without damaging the epidermis.

What are the benefits of calendula oil for the skin?

Calendula oil is known for its soothing, healing, and anti-inflammatory properties. It helps calm redness, repair irritated skin, and relieve minor burns or sunburn. Perfect for sensitive, reactive, or eczema-prone skin.

Is calendula oil suitable for baby care?

Absolutely. Calendula oil is known for its soothing, anti-inflammatory, and healing properties, making it ideal for infant diaper care. It helps prevent and relieve diaper rash, redness, and irritation caused by prolonged contact with diaper moisture.
Products like SOWÉ calendula oil incorporate this extract to protect and strengthen babies' skin barrier. Regular application of calendula oil forms a non-occlusive protective film, promoting skin regeneration while allowing the epidermis to breathe.

Is calendula oil suitable for vulva care?

Calendula oil (Calendula officinalis) is particularly well-suited for intimate care due to its anti-inflammatory, healing, and soothing properties. It contains flavonoids and triterpenes, such as faradiol, which inhibit the enzymes responsible for skin inflammation. These active compounds give it remarkable effectiveness in soothing sensitive and irritated mucous membranes. For external application, calendula oil can be used to relieve irritation, itching, or discomfort related to imbalances in the intimate flora. It is also beneficial in cases of dryness or after sexual intercourse, offering natural hydration without disrupting the physiological balance of the intimate area.

Calendula, a carefree flower

Calendula is part of the Asteraceae family, a group of plants that includes daisies and sunflowers. Among the 20 existing species of calendula, the most famous and widely used is Calendula officinalis, also known as pot marigold. Calendula originated in the Mediterranean region and Macaronesia, but it has conquered the whole world due to its ease of cultivation and beauty. Calendula is distinguished by its yellow or orange flowers, which follow the movement of the sun. Its leaves are oval, green, and hairy.

Production of Calendula Macerate
To best extract its oil, healthy and cleaned seeds are cold-pressed using an auger, then the extract is filtered through blotting paper. Calendula macerate is prepared in a sunflower seed oil base to enhance its properties.

Properties of Calendula Macerate
Calendula is a plant with multiple virtues, which can be used in infusions or on the skin:

Benefits of Calendula on the skin
According to numerous sources:

It promotes skin healing, thanks to its anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, antifungal, and healing properties. It can be used on wounds, burns, cuts, abrasions, or ulcers.
It fights skin infections and inflammations by eradicating microorganisms that cause acne, eczema, warts, or varicose veins. It can be applied as a cream, gel, or poultice to alleviate symptoms.
Benefits of Calendula in Infusion
According to numerous sources:

It protects the liver by preventing lesions caused by certain medications, such as paracetamol.
It balances blood sugar levels by strengthening insulin sensitivity and optimizing the effectiveness of anti-diabetic medications. It can be ingested as a tea or mother tincture to control diabetes.
It relieves mucous membrane inflammations, such as canker sores, gingivitis, sore throats, or gastritis. It can be used as a tea, gargle, or mouthwash to soothe irritations.
Calendula is therefore a beneficial plant for health, which can be easily grown in a pot or garden. However, care must be taken not to confuse it with African marigold or marsh marigold, which are distinct plants and do not have the same effects. It is also necessary to follow dosage and application instructions, as calendula can cause adverse reactions such as allergies, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. It is recommended to seek medical advice before using calendula, especially if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or undergoing medical treatment.
