Calendula soap is made from the infusion of dried calendula flowers in a good quality carrier oil, such as olive or sunflower. Petals can be added for decorative effect, where uniquely in cold process soap, they retain their vibrant orange and yellow colours.

With a mild and gently cleansing lather, calendula soap can benefit those with dry, sensitive skin or skin conditions which are prone to irritation such as eczema or psoriasis. Its soothing nature makes it suitable for everyday use by all the family.

The sweet and musky scent of calendula flowers fade during the soap making process, leaving a delicate herbal aroma. Whilst essential oils or fragrance may be added, the natural lightly scented of calendula soap is soothing and makes a good neutral choice.

A gentle and unscented soap such as goats’ milk and honey is a good alternative to calendula soap if you are looking to avoid any potential allergens. Another option might be Lavender & Oatmilk, which is enjoyed for its calming properties.
