All the Healing Power of Calendula — Without the Colour
Calendula has been used for centuries to calm, heal, and protect irritated skin. Rich in flavonoids, saponins, and triterpenes, it's one of the most respected botanicals in cosmetic chemistry — especially for sensitive, reactive, or compromised skin.
But here's the problem most formulators run into: traditional Calendula extract is amber to dark brown. Add it to a clear toner or a light serum and suddenly your beautiful formula looks murky.
This version solves that.
Our Calendula Clear Liquid Extract delivers the same soothing, anti-inflammatory botanical benefits in a colourless, water-soluble form — so your formulas stay crystal clear, bright, and professional-looking, no matter the usage rate.
Why Choose the Clear Version?
-
Zero colour impact — stays invisible in toners, mists, gel serums, and clear formulas
-
Deeply soothing — calms redness, irritation, and reactive or sensitive skin
-
Anti-inflammatory — rich in flavonoids and saponins that reduce skin stress
-
Supports skin barrier repair — ideal for eczema-prone, post-procedure, or compromised skin
-
Water-soluble — blends effortlessly into the water phase of any formula
-
Lightweight & non-tacky — won't weigh down serums, toners, or gels
What Can You Make With It?
This is the go-to Calendula extract for any formula where clarity matters:
- Clear toners & facial mists
- Gel serums & lightweight essences
- Sensitive skin & eczema relief formulas
- Eye area products & under-eye serums
- Scalp treatments & hair tonics
- Daily facial serums for all skin types
New to DIY Skincare? Here's Exactly How to Use It
Add this extract to the water phase of your formula, or during cool-down below 40°C / 104°F for hot-process emulsions. Use at 1.0% to 10.0% of your total formula weight. In a 100g batch, that's just 1g–10g. It dissolves instantly, stays clear, and gets to work right away.
Tip: If you're making creams, lotions, or body products where a natural amber colour is fine — or even desirable — check out our Calendula Brown Liquid Extract instead.
