Marigold Orange (Calendula) Petals

Whole organic marigold flowers, also known as calendula, are one of the most versatile herbs to work with. The bright orange petals provide vibrant color and textural interest to tea blends, salads, and soups, while the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds in the flowers lend their properties to various skin care preparations.

Infuse whole orange marigold flowers in oil for use in salves, balms, soaps, lotions, and creams. Water infusions may be used to make shampoo and hair tonics to condition and provide highlights for light hair shades.

Safety: Use with caution if you are allergic to other plants in the daisy family, such as ragweed.
