Bright, sun-colored, and packed with healing potential—Calendula officinalis, also known as marigold, has been cherished for centuries in herbal medicine and natural skincare. Ancient herbalists revered it for its ability to treat wounds, calm inflammation, and soothe delicate skin. Today, modern science confirms what tradition always knew: calendula is a true botanical powerhouse. But what makes this golden flower so special? And how can it benefit you—and your family?
The healing powers of Calendula
Calendula, often called the "pot marigold," has long been loved for its remarkable healing properties. Rich in active compounds like flavonoids, triterpenes, and carotenoids, calendula is an incredibly versatile herb that works wonders for the skin in multiple ways:
Anti-inflammatory: Calendula reduces redness and inflammation, making it perfect for soothing eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis.
Skin Regeneration: Flavonoids and triterpenes promote cell regeneration, helping heal cuts, wounds, and burns while reducing the appearance of scars and dark spots.
Antibacterial & Antifungal: Its natural antimicrobial properties help fight bacteria and fungi, making it ideal for treating minor infections, insect bites, and rashes.
Moisturizing: Calendula helps maintain skin hydration and prevents dryness—especially beneficial for dry or sensitive skin.
Antioxidant Protection: Packed with antioxidants like vitamin C, calendula combats oxidative stress, preventing premature aging and promoting radiant skin.
Gentle for Sensitive Skin: Its soothing nature makes calendula safe for all skin types, including delicate baby skin.
Supports a Healthy Scalp & Hair: Calendula nourishes the scalp, reduces dandruff, and strengthens hair follicles—an excellent addition to natural haircare routines.
How we infuse Calendula’s into every product
At Malina Organix, we believe that the way calendula is extracted is just as important as the flower itself. That’s why we use a slow, traditional infusion process in organic coconut oil—a method that ensures maximum potency and purity.
Organic dried calendula petals are gently macerated in coconut oil for several weeks, using low heat and no synthetic chemicals. This slow infusion process allows the oil to absorb all of calendula’s powerful healing compounds—flavonoids, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory agents—while preserving their full therapeutic effect.
Organic coconut oil not only acts as a natural carrier but also adds its own nourishing, antimicrobial, and skin-softening properties, creating a deeply effective and completely natural base for all our calendula-infused products.
