How to Infuse Calendula Oil
Calendula is what I love to call a miracle flower. It has a multitude of health benefits that we all can benefit from. It's an anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-microbial as well as an anti-inflammatory which is why it has been used as a tea to help many ailments such as stomach ulcers and menstral cramps. As a licensed esthetician that formulates the products in my skincare line I love to use natural ingredients because skincare doesn't have to be complicated. I believe in simplistic systems for skincare regimens. I've had some calendula flowers that I had been wanting to implement in some of my products and thought it would be aweome to make the calendula oil myself.
Heres what you will need:
Calendula Flowers
Carrier Oil (olive oil, sweet almond oil, sunflower oil, etc)
Mason jar with lid
