The Skin-Soothing Botanical That Belongs in Every Formula

If your skin — or your customer's skin — is red, irritated, dry, or reactive, Calendula is one of the most trusted botanicals in skincare for a reason. Used for centuries to calm inflammation and support skin healing, this extract brings that same time-tested power into a modern, easy-to-use liquid form.

This is the brown/amber version — the natural, minimally processed form of Calendula extract. The colour comes from the rich flavonoids and carotenoids in the flower itself. If you're making creams, lotions, masks, or body products where a little natural colour is welcome, this is your ingredient.

Why Formulators Love This Extract

Deeply soothing — helps calm redness, irritation, and reactive skin
Rich in antioxidants — carotenoids and flavonoids protect skin from environmental stress
Supports skin barrier repair — ideal for dry, sensitive, or compromised skin
Natural amber colour — adds a botanical richness to creams, balms, and body products
Water-soluble — easy to add directly into the water phase of your formula
Preserved & ready to use — no extra preservatives needed at recommended usage rates

What Can You Make With It?

This extract shines in formulas where natural colour is not a concern:

Soothing face creams & moisturizers
Body lotions & butters
Calming face masks & wash-off treatments
Scalp serums & hair treatments
Baby care & sensitive skin products
After-sun & post-shave formulas

New to DIY Skincare? Here's How Simple This Is

Add this extract to the water phase of your formula during cool-down (below 40°C / 104°F). Use at 1.0% to 10.0% of your total formula weight. In a 100g batch, that's just 1g–10g. It blends in easily and gets to work immediately.

Tip: If you're making a clear toner or serum and want zero colour, choose our Clear Calendula Extract instead. This brown version is best for opaque or naturally tinted formulas.
