Marigold CO2-to Extract, 5 g

Calendula CO₂-to extract is a highly concentrated botanical extract obtained from dried flowers of Calendula officinalis using supercritical carbon dioxide extraction. This process takes place without the use of chemical solvents and preserves the full spectrum of biologically active plant constituents, which are known for their anti-inflammatory and regenerative effects. It is a CO₂-to (total extract) – a complete extract containing all lipophilic components, including triterpenoids, waxes, sterols and carotenoids. The product has a dark reddish-brown colour, a waxy consistency and a characteristic mildly sweet hay-like scent.
