Product description

Organic calendula macerate is a plant-based macerate made from dried organic calendula flowers and organic olive oil. It is characterised by its light orange colour and typical floral scent. Calendula macerate is one of the established plant oils for cosmetic formulations and is used in a wide range of care products.

During maceration, the calendula flowers release their oil-soluble plant constituents into the carrier oil. The macerate is then filtered and stabilised with organic rosemary extract. The organic olive oil base gives the product a high proportion of oleic acid and makes it a versatile formulation component.

Calendula macerate can be used neat or as part of oil blends or emulsions. It can be processed in the oil phase of cosmetic formulations and is suitable for a range of care concepts. The natural colour of the macerate should be taken into account during product development.

The product is suitable for balms, skincare oils, emulsions, massage oils and other cosmetic formulations. Lighter and extract-based: our calendula oil in sunflower oil.

Manufacturing process

Maceration

Maceration

Additional processes

Infused oil from fresh or dried plant parts in a carrier oil – fat-soluble plant compounds pass gently into the oil.

A macerate, also known as an infused oil, is produced by maceration: fresh or dried plant parts (botanical raw materials) are steeped in a carrier oil such as olive, sesame or sunflower oil. Extraction usually takes place over several weeks at temperatures of 25 to 40 °C.

Depending on the raw material, dried or fresh plant parts are used. Calendula and arnica flowers, for example, are processed dried, while St John’s wort can be macerated as a fresh herb.

Mainly lipophilic, i.e. fat-soluble, constituents pass into the oil – such as essential oils, fat-soluble vitamins, phytosterols, carotenoids and other secondary plant compounds.

Our range includes:

  • Calendula macerate
  • Arnica macerate
  • St John’s wort macerate
  • Carrot macerate
  • Amla and ashwagandha root macerates
  • Aloe vera oil macerate

The macerates are gently filtered to ensure good product quality and suitable processing properties. Details of the exact composition, the carrier oil used and the INCI can be found on the respective product page.
