Calendula extract is a cosmetic raw material that comes from the dried petals of the calendula plant, also known as pot marigold or Calendula officinalis. It's rich in oxygenated monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes, as well as flavonoids, carotenoids, phenol acids, tannins, saponosides, and coumarins.

Calendula extract has many properties that make it useful in a variety of products, including: 

• Skin and eye products: Calendula extract can help wounds heal faster, improve skin hydration and firmness, and treat dry, irritated, and delicate skin. It can also help with skin ulcers, infected wounds, diaper rash, eczema, varicose veins, and hemorrhoids. 

• Hair products: Calendula extract contains ingredients that are beneficial for hair. 

• Bath products: Calendula extract can be used in bath products. 

• Fragrance ingredients: Calendula extract can be used as a fragrance ingredient. 

Calendula extract is often applied topically to the skin in the form of tinctures, ointments, and washes. It's generally considered safe, but people who are sensitive to ragweed or similar plants should avoid using it.
