Our organic calendula flowers are grown in France Auvergne/Rhône Alps and harvested by end of August, mid-heat of the day, when the flowers are sticky with life and resin. Calendula extracts are produced by the maceration of the dry flowers in vegetable glycerine ensuring the highest concentration in active molecules. The macerate is then grounded, filtered and concentrated at low temperature to maintain its beneficial compounds. Sustainably grown and processed.
