Calendula
Derived from the bright orange petals of the calendula flower (Calendula officinalis), Calendula CO₂ extract is a highly concentrated botanical ingredient prized for centuries for its soothing and healing effects on the skin.
At Made in Hemp, we use Calendula CO₂ extract to support skin repair, calm inflammation, and protect delicate skin — especially in sensitive or compromised skin formulations.
What Is Calendula CO₂ Extract?
Calendula CO₂ extract is produced through a modern, solvent-free method called supercritical CO₂ extraction. This technique uses pressurized carbon dioxide to gently extract the purest, most active compounds from calendula petals without heat or chemical solvents, preserving the flower’s beneficial properties.
The result is a potent, aromatic oil rich in:
Triterpenoids — anti-inflammatory and regenerative
Flavonoids — antioxidants that protect skin from free radical damage
Carotenoids — support skin healing and brighten tone
Essential oils — antimicrobial and calming
Because it’s a concentrated extract rather than a simple infusion, it delivers more powerful skin benefits in smaller amounts.
Skin Benefits of Calendula CO₂ Extract
Calendula CO₂ extract is a go-to botanical for:
Calming inflammation and redness caused by irritation or sensitivity
Supporting skin regeneration and healing of minor wounds, rashes, or eczema
Antimicrobial action that helps protect vulnerable skin

This makes it an excellent ingredient for sensitive, dry, or damaged skin needing gentle care.
