When you visit moon haven you'll often see a large jar of golden calendula infused oil in our cottage window. We love to put our oil infusions in the window as it catches the afternoon sun. You see the warmth and light helps the calendula release its goodness into the oil.
Calendula Flowers - nature's anti-inflammatory
We love harnessing the anti-inflammatory, healing and soothing properties of golden calendula petals to make this salve.
Perfect for Mum's Bub's - and all the family
We made this sale to help mothers and babes through those first few months of breast feeding, nappy rash and stretch marks. Its also great help for those suffering from rosacea and sensitised skin, chaffing and rashes.
Calendula is known for its assistance in healing and regenerating the skin. Traditionally it has been used to soothe distressed skin, calm scar tissue, and other skin conditions.
We always recommend Calendula Salve to the new mother as it is fantastic for helping with nappy rash, stretch marks, sore nipples and even episiotomy scars.
This gentling salve is also great for those very dry flaky areas on your face. Safe enough to use even on eyelids, it will help reduce the redness and irritation often associated with eczema and rosacea
At the Moon Haven cottage we infuse dried calendula petals in pure sunflower oil for several weeks. We then combine the calendula oil with olive oil and local beeswax to make this wonderful skin soothing salve.
