Organic Calendula Oil
Calendula officinalis. Easily Identifiable by its brilliant yellow or orange color, Calendula is a flowering plant with simple toothed leaves that typically alternate on the stem; the leaves of some species are sessile (lacking a leaf stalk) and may have clasping leaf bases. Calendula plants produce one flower head per stem that typically produce yellow or orange petals with a central disk that can be yellow, red, or violet in color. The oils extracted from Calendula Plants are antibacterial, potent, and effective. They can be used for yeast infections, sunscreen, and even a moisturizer. Calendula Oil is also great for eczema, diaper rash, and skin irritation and inflammation.
