Herb Pharm Certified Organic Calendula Oil, 1 Fl Oz

Great for the Ends of My Hair
I blow dry my hair and stop when its damp but not too damp. Then I rub this stuff on my hands and smooth it over the last 3 inches of my hair. It causes all the split ends to smooth down and the ends all stay together so I don’t have “Hag Hair”. Added Bonus: Then when I blow dry the ends with my round brush, it holds a subtle curl. Love this stuff.

Cured my facial rosacea and breakouts
I have a shelf of multiple products I bought to calm down my face irritation of rosacea and pimple breakouts. As a fluke I decided to try just putting this oil on my face right out of the bottle. I wasn’t sure if this is intended to be put full strength – but since it is diluted with oil, it seemed reasonable. I started by putting it on and night and I’d wake up and face would be calm. Now I use it every morning (since at night I was concerned it might just rub off onto my pillow cases and be wasted). The years of breakouts I’ve had finally have a solution. No itching, no breakouts. No dryness.The best surprise – it gives your face a nice looking tan. I saw online that it is also has a some sunscreen properties. So, you can get a fake tan and also protect yourself from the sun at the same time (!) My only suggestion is to make sure you “feather it in” like paint. Once you rub in into your face, rub the edges a little beyond your hairline and down your neck so you don’t have a “Line” of color. Your hands might look stained after – but if you just rub them together like you would lotion – it disappears. It’s not really a dye – it’s more subtle – like skin food that soaks in. Some people here say it smells weird, but it just smells earthy. I’d rather smell that then all the overly perfumed face treatments I’ve tried that almost feel toxic to smell. This smell is very subtle and you really feel like you are putting natural plants on your face. 100% recommend this. I was actually surprised the little bottle lasted so long – a little bit goes a long way. But still I”m going to buy the large bottle now since I will probably use this for a long time – as long as my irritation stays away.

Good, Beneficial Herbal Oil
Good calendula oil.. I just used it to mix into my Calendula-Lavender Muscle Soak, which came out well. It does have a natural herbal scent to it, but it’s not bad at all.Currently, I have dried calendula being infused into vegetable glycerin in a big jar.. It smells very similar to this calendula oil, and I realized that as long as you have the herb and some oil, it’s pretty simple to make your own infusion.So the price was not really worth it for me, since I can make a lot more oil in a fraction of the price. However, I’m reviewing the actual product here, and I find it to be a good one. It seems totally natural, and it claims to be organic, which is actually really important.Definitely worth getting- IF you don’t have calendula flowers/petals and plant-based oil yourself. Or if you just want to make things easy, as I suppose I did… I actually wanted to make sure that my flower infusion was on the right track in comparison to this product. I realized that I had nothing to worry about, but it was good for me to see what a retail organic calendula oil was like. It’s dark in color and slightly viscous, with olive oil as the base.Calendula has a lot of excellent health and skincare benefits, and I enjoy it for herbal tea. It seems like a very versatile herb, and I highly recommend trying some of your own- make sure it’s organic so you’re getting something healthy and safe, without chemicals and pesticides.This is a decent product, a very simple one as well. Easy to use for any DIY recipe.
