About this one
Calendula flowers are macerated for six weeks in your choice of organic olive oil or organic jojoba. Jojoba is technically a liquid wax, not a triglyceride oil, which is why its structure sits so close to human sebum — the reason it is the first thing we reach for on reactive or easily irritated skin. Olive oil is heavier and suits the body better than the face.
This is a three-ingredient product on purpose: one carrier oil, calendula, and the small measure of alcohol used only during infusion. If your skin flares at fragrance, this is the shortest ingredient list in the range.
