Calendula and Tallow Salve - A Natural Remedy

Calendula and tallow salve is a traditional, all-natural ointment known for its impressive healing and moisturising properties.

Combining the anti-inflammatory and skin-soothing benefits of calendula with the deeply nourishing properties of tallow, this salve is a versatile solution for a variety of skin issues.

Calendula (Calendula officinalis) Calendula, commonly known as marigold, has been used for centuries in herbal medicine. The vibrant orange or yellow petals of the calendula flower are rich in flavonoids, saponins, and triterpenoids, compounds that contribute to its potent anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and wound-healing properties.

Calendula is often used to:
Soothe minor burns and sunburns.
Heal cuts, scrapes, and bruises.
Alleviate rashes and skin irritations
Reduce the appearance of scars

Tallow, rendered from grassfed beef, is a traditional skincare ingredient prized for its similarity to the natural oils

Cold Infusion Process:
Cold infusion involves steeping dried Calendula flowers in extra virgin olive fruit oil at room temperature for an extended period, typically several months. This method preserves the delicate, active compounds and volatile oils in the Calendula, resulting in a more potent and effective product. The slow process ensures that the beneficial properties of Calendula are fully extracted without the risk of degradation due to heat.

Hot Infusion Process:
Hot infusion, on the other hand, involves heating the dried Calendula flowers in oil at a low temperature for a few hours to speed up the extraction process. While this method is faster, the heat can degrade some of the more delicate compounds in the Calendula, potentially reducing the overall effectiveness of the final product.

The cold infusion process, though more time-consuming, results in a superior product with maximum retention of the beneficial properties of Calendula, making it a labour of love and intention.
