The Sun Flower of Old Apothecaries

A bloom that has followed the sun across centuries of tradition.

- Calendula officinalis, often called pot marigold, has been treasured in European herbal traditions since medieval monastery gardens.

- The absolute is solvent-extracted from the bright orange-yellow flowering tops, capturing a depth the petals alone cannot offer.

- Its name comes from the Latin calendae — referring to the bloom's tendency to flower throughout the months.

SAFETY

Dillution guideline

  • Use at very low dilution, typically 0.1–0.5% in a carrier oil for topical applications.

  • Patch test

Apply a small amount of the diluted blend to the inner forearm and wait 24 hours before broader use.

  • Children

Avoid use on children under 6. For older children, consult a qualified aromatherapist and use heavily diluted.

  • Pregnancy

Avoid during pregnancy and breastfeeding unless guided by a qualified aromatherapy professional.

  • Pets

Keep away from pets; cats, dogs and birds are particularly sensitive to essential oils.

  • Photosensitivity

Not typically associated with photosensitivity.

  • Ingestion

Do not ingest unless under qualified professional guidance.

  • Storage

Store tightly closed in a cool, dark place away from sunlight and heat. Keep out of reach of children.
