Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract

Product Description

Green Stone Swiss manufactures Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract from identified Calendula officinalis L. flower heads under GMP-aligned botanical processing, with batch-consistent quality and full technical documentation. Direct factory supply supports bulk orders and free sample qualification for sensitive-skin, after-sun, and barrier-care programs.

The extract is obtained from the flowers of Calendula officinalis L. (Asteraceae; pot marigold). Flower heads concentrate flavonoids, carotenoids, and triterpene esters, including faradiol esters associated with a well-documented soothing and anti-inflammatory profile in topical systems. As a botanical active, it supports skin-conditioning feel, comfort on stressed or dryness-prone skin, and antioxidant polyphenol contribution in leave-on formulas. Hydroglycolic grades are typically water-compatible; lipophilic CO2 grades are suited to oil-phase and balm systems.

Calendula remains a benchmark soothing botanical in toners, creams, masks, and after-sun emulsions across global markets. GSS supplies this high-purity flower extract in bulk with COA and TDS support, so procurement and R&D teams can specify a flower-only INCI—distinct from unspecified whole-plant calendula grades—and build consistent sensitive-skin and repair-care formulas.
