Why Marigold?

Marigold has been used for centuries to support the immune system, heal skin and help fight infections. Marigold is best known for its cell repair and growth. In its raw form, Marigold is a natural antiseptic and has anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory properties. What’s more, Marigold works gently, so is great for sensitive skin. Using ‘Too much’ need not be a worry. Check out our Marigold Soap Bars to introduce this beautiful flower and all its loveliness into your skin care routine.

Gather The Following Ingredients And Supplies:

Ingredients

Most of these ingredients are available from most Health food stores…and Amazon.

1. 60g dried calendula petals
2. 120g extra virgin olive oil
3. 30g grated beeswax or beeswax pastilles

Supplies

• Table spoon
• 2-cup glass measuring cup
• Rubber bands
• Crockpot
• Heavy Saucepan
• Cheesecloth (or cotton fabric)
• Clean container to store

Step One: Place olive oil and calendula petals in the top of a crockpot and warm over medium heat for at least 30 minutes.

Step Two: Strain oil by placing a cheesecloth over a strainer and setting over a bowl. Press the petals with the back of a spoon to get out the excess oil. Then gently gather up the edges of the cheesecloth and wrap it around the petals, squeezing out as much oil as possible.

Step Three: Pour the strained oil into a heavy saucepan and turn the heat on low. Add the beeswax and stir occasionally until melted.

Step Four: Pour into a clean container, leaving uncovered until completely cooled.

Step Five: Use sparingly on affected area and chill!
