If you've ever looked at the ingredients in our products, you've probably noticed calendula appearing again and again—and for good reason. This beautiful golden flower has been used in traditional skincare for centuries and remains one of our favourite botanicals here at Somerset Natural Soaps.
What is Calendula?
Calendula (Calendula officinalis), often called the pot marigold, is a bright orange flower known for its naturally gentle skincare properties. The petals are carefully infused into nourishing oils, allowing the plant's beneficial compounds to be extracted into a form that's perfect for natural skincare.
Why We Love Calendula
At Somerset Natural Soaps, we choose calendula because it is wonderfully gentle and suitable for many skin types, especially those looking for simple, natural skincare made with carefully selected botanical ingredients.
Calendula-infused oil is rich in naturally occurring plant compounds and is a beautiful addition to soaps, moisturisers, balms and lotions.
