Calendula (Calendula officinalis)

Egyptian Calendula — often called Marigold — is a vibrant golden flower treasured for its soothing, healing, and anti-inflammatory properties. Cultivated under Egypt’s abundant sunlight and fertile soils, our calendula blossoms are hand-harvested at full bloom to preserve their natural color, aroma, and bioactive compounds. Renowned for purity and potency, Egyptian Calendula is a preferred ingredient in European cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and herbal tea industries. Calendula (Calendula officinalis) is a member of the Asteraceae family, cultivated in Upper Egypt, Fayoum, and Beni Suef — regions known for ideal climatic conditions for medicinal and aromatic plants. The bright orange-yellow petals are rich in flavonoids, carotenoids, and essential oils, which give calendula its powerful healing, anti-inflammatory, and skin-soothing properties.
