Description Calendula flowers are in the daisy family called Asteraceae. They are native to Asia, Western Europe and the Mediterranean including Egypt which is where our Calendula Flowers are sourced from. The Calendula flower has a long honorable history with many using these flowers for its beneficial properties. Specifically, calendula was used in personal care applications and in soothing remedies and balms. These dried calendula flowers are bright orange and yellow with a natural earthy scent. They bloom on the “calends” of each month, or the first day of the Roman calendar, and are carefully dried at low temperatures to preserve their vibrant color. Today, dried calendula flowers are widely used to create infused calendula oil that can be applied directly to dry or damaged skin, or incorporated into balms and body butter recipes for added benefits.
