📖 Usage & Formulation Guide

Unlock the full potential of our Calendula Oil with these expert formulation tips:

• Soothing Massage Oil: For a calming massage oil, blend Calendula Oil with a carrier oil like sweet almond or jojoba oil. A 5-10% dilution is generally recommended for adults (e.g., 5-10 ml Calendula Oil per 100 ml carrier oil). For sensitive skin or baby skin, start with a 1-2% dilution.
• Eczema Relief Balm: Create a potent eczema balm by combining Calendula Oil (15%), shea butter (40%), beeswax (20%), coconut oil (15%), and vitamin E oil (10%). The Calendula Oil's anti-inflammatory and skin-soothing properties will synergize with the other ingredients to provide relief from itching and dryness.
• Facial Serum for Dry Skin: Formulate a luxurious facial serum by blending Calendula Oil (10%) with rosehip oil (40%), argan oil (30%), and evening primrose oil (20%). This combination delivers essential fatty acids and antioxidants to deeply nourish and hydrate dry, sensitive skin. A few drops applied nightly can significantly improve skin texture and radiance.
• Calendula Infused Soap: Enhance your handcrafted soaps by adding Calendula Oil at a rate of 1-3% during the saponification process. This imparts gentle cleansing and moisturizing properties, making your soaps ideal for delicate or irritated skin. The subtle herbal aroma will complement other essential oils beautifully.
