Description
Organic Calendula Oil
Wild As The Wind Organic Calendula Oil is made using a cold pressed Organic Sunflower Seed Oil, which is then infused with Organic Calendula (20%).
The Organic Calendula flowers are steeped in the Organic Sunflower Oil until they impart all of their healing constituents into the Organic Sunflower Oil. This process is called maceration.
Organic Calendula Oil Is A Macerated Oil
Organic macerated oils, are also called organic infusion oils or organic infused oils.
These terms are employed to describe all organic carrier oils used to extract the therapeutic properties of a certain organic plant or group of organic plants.
The organic carrier oils commonly used are Organic Sunflower Oil, Organic Olive Oil and sometimes Organic Almond Oil.
Organic Calendula Oil Health Benefits
Because this Organic Calendula Infused Oil is antimicrobial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, anticandidal, antiviral & antibacterial, it has many potential applications.
It is excellent for speeding up the healing of sore, chaffed skin and open wounds. It is also ideal for soothing eczema & dry skin, as well as nappy rash.
Application :: Gently rub Organic Calendula Oil into the affected area, allowing the warmth of your hand to assist the absorption of the oil into the skin.
Trauma Oil
One of the first blends aromatherapists learn to make is Trauma Oil. This is a simple blend of three carrier oils, Arnica Oil, Organic Calendula Oil and Organic St. John’s Wort Oil.
These organic macerated oils should be blended together in equal quantities to make Trauma Oil, as follows.
- 1/3 Organic Arnica Oil
- 1/3 Organic Calendula Oil
- 1/3 Organic St. John’s Wort Oil

If you have sensitive skin, or if you do a lot of sun bathing, there’s a very remote chance you may have a slight reaction to this Wild As The Wind oil.
It is always advisable to perform a patch test on the soft skin on the inside of your forearm before using carrier oils on your face.
Perform A Patch Test
Place a drop or two of Wild As The Wind oil on your inner forearm, making sure to massage it well into your skin.
A severe reaction will occur within ten minutes, but it may take 24 hours for milder intolerances to emerge.
Look for signs of Urticaria, (aka Hives), discolouration, redness, dryness, or feelings of irritation / itchiness.
If you experience none of these, you will be safe to use your Wild As The Wind oil elsewhere on your body, including your face.
Nevertheless, always avoid sensitive areas and inside your ears unless otherwise instructed by your health professional. This is especially important if you use your Wild As The Wind oil as a carrier oil for a number of Organic Essential Oils.
