I grew my flowers last year, and made 2 oils. Then I made some lotion bars, and lip balm. So far, I've had good results with both, samples getting good feedback. Now I'm starting the spring garden indoors to get a jump on the season. Looking forward to digging the dirt! Great teaching video, thank you.
Also, I helped in a garden in Ireland, where the gardener 'popped' the flowers heads off if they were starting to degrade/die off (because the plant could send its nutrients to the 'better working flowers')... when I have my future garden, would it be advised to collect and dry these stages of the flowers to turn into oils?
Hello, is sun flower oil better for the skin than it is for eating? Is CAlendula oil made from fresh flower worse for storing; how long can it store? Should one add some preserving substance or essential oil, please? I once made Calendula oil letting it draw the goodness out in olive oil for acouple of weeks, which i ave done with St Johns Worth several times with success and the right scent. The CAlendula oil smelled strange though, off, pugnant, and I have always wondered why, whether I id something wrong, or whether I should add some essential oil, since it just may not have such a nice scent itself. I should be grateful and glad for answers. :-) Thanks.
Hi Emilia, Oils go rancid by light and heat, if it is not that hot or not that direct of a light then sure. A bag may be used to block some of the direct light.
What do you do with the Calendula flowers after you drain off the oil? Should I put them in the garbage or can they be composted? I've never put oils in my garden. Hmm? Thank you for your time and help.
I made a batch of calendula oil but I was curious in what to do with the flowers after infuses? I used my 1st batch to make calendula salve. Can the flowers be reused for another batch of infused oil?
Your channel is lovely, thank you for the tutorial. Just started learning about making homemade remedies! Can this oil be used to further create a shea/beeswax base thick cream or chapstick? Would warming the oil (in the windowsill as advised) break down the beneficial healing components of the organic flower?
Just subbed! Great video. Found your video because I'm going to make some calendula oil. Working on harvesting seeds to save for next year and flowers for oil. Great advice on waiting until the flowers dry. Thank you.
Hi Al, You can use calendula officinalis, any are fine. To learn more you can download our free Calendula Oil eBook with signing up for our Newsletter on our home page here: www.JoanMorais.com
hello! thanks for the video. what other oils can I use for this? and is there a difference between the type of oil i use for cooking and oil to be used for a salve? I have organic cooking olive oil at home.
You can use different liquid oils, whatever you prefer. Olive oil works just fine, it is a heavier oil and has a stronger scent, you can use the same you use for cooking. Different oils have different properties, matters what you are looking for.
i am trying to grow calendula flowers , hope it turns out. My qustion is, when i pop the flowers off, how do i dry them out so i may make the oil later on down the road?
Yes you can Dry the flowers but don't use excessive heat in the drying process. I try to keep the temp from 100-110 Fahrenheit I have been extracting the healing properties of herbs almost 40 years. I make ointment from Calendula, antirrhinium linaria, and plantago major. The first two do the healing. The plantago major is Rich in natural sulphur. This sulphur acts as a germocide to keep the injjury from getting infected. My bcp ointment was used on everything from diaper rash to sun burn, and finally in a burn Ward. AMAZING stuff.
I'm doing a calendula cream as a medication for wound healing for my final year project. Should I use the essential oil or infused oil like this? If I'm making the oil on my own, can I use pre-bought dried calendula flower or should I use fresh ones and then distill/cold press it? Or is it better for me to ditch oils and use calendula extract which I have prepare myself?
I woukd not use essential oil because of the alcohol in it. What i do is get the dried flowers mix with base material (shortening, lard, etc. Heat base material and flowers till they turn dark brown-black and pour through mesh screen or cheese cloth to filter out the herbs. Never used infused oil so cant help you there.

Hi Joan! Thanks so much for all your wonderful information and your uplifting spirit! Love the emails and booklets. :)

HELLO JOAN. I liked your video a lot. I suffer from very mild folliculitis but it is itchy at times. Will this oil help me and how do I apply it?
Hi Emilia,
Oils go rancid by light and heat, if it is not that hot or not that direct of a light then sure. A bag may be used to block some of the direct light.
You're welcome! Thanks for your comment.
I have gastrit and helikobakter plori. I start to use
Its really fantastic video thanks you for good sharing i am new frien stay safe stay tuned 😰🙏👍👍👍
Any other oil but sunflour that u recommend? Btw thanks for the video❤️
Thanks for yr video n recipe of making infused herbal oil of calendula oil.
What do you do with the Calendula flowers after you drain off the oil? Should I put them in the garbage or can they be composted? I've never put oils in my garden. Hmm? Thank you for your time and help.
I was wondering if you could re-use the flowers for soaps or scrubs? I would never put anything with oil into the compost or garden.
Joan Thank you so much for posting this video. I will definitely try this.
Hi... do you have tips to dry the calendula flower?
I made a batch of calendula oil but I was curious in what to do with the flowers after infuses? I used my 1st batch to make calendula salve. Can the flowers be reused for another batch of infused oil?
I’m going to make Catnip oil. Love your set. Just subscribed!💕
I can't find Episode 2. Was there ever one made?
Hi Mam How are you? I am from India and want to make more products from Marigold flower. Please make more video on that.
Isn't the fresh flower too wet, leading to contamination/bacteria growing?
Your channel is lovely, thank you for the tutorial. Just started learning about making homemade remedies! Can this oil be used to further create a shea/beeswax base thick cream or chapstick? Would warming the oil (in the windowsill as advised) break down the beneficial healing components of the organic flower?
Wanderlearners The warmth of the Sun helps the herbs to release the healing components 🙂
Thank You Tube you guys are the best I really appreciate your InfoBase Apostle Johnny Jackson
I need to get me some of those flowers!!! Thanks so much.
Could you reuse the same Calendula leaves from the oil in a soap or lotions?
Hello, no the calendula flowers are not resoluble after being infused into oil.
@@JoanMoraisCosmeticsSchool could you put a preservative in it?
Thanks for the video :) ,Can Calendula cure face acne?
伟杰 yes
Yep
Would it be effective to use a premium first pressed, cold pressed olive oil instead of the sunflower oil. Why did you use sunflower oil?
Hi there. How long should I let the oil sit before straining? 2 weeks?
4 weeks is good :)
What was the base oil ?
Just subbed! Great video. Found your video because I'm going to make some calendula oil. Working on harvesting seeds to save for next year and flowers for oil. Great advice on waiting until the flowers dry. Thank you.
Nice, enjoy making calendula oil!
Yes I did it the exact same way 😀
this is so good! thank you so much! i will some of these flowers in my garden right away :)
Thank you for sharing!
Hello & thank you, Joan! I am new at this and wondering if organic Jojoba, Rosehip or any oil will work? Are there any oils to avoid? Thank you --
You can try olive oil or jojoba oil. Rosehip is not recommended. Have fun making products!
I recommend Jojoba over Olive. Way too many grades of olive oil
whats oil do you put in 1:23 minute?
There are many different types of Calendula Flowers. Which one is best for making Calendula oil?
Hi Al, You can use calendula officinalis, any are fine. To learn more you can download our free Calendula Oil eBook with signing up for our Newsletter on our home page here: www.JoanMorais.com

ok thanks!
So happy to find your You Tube page!
Do i store it in the refrigerator or leave it out?
Hello, store it on the shelf in a cool, dark and dry place.
After filtered the Calendula oil, can you still use those Calendula flowers on other things? Or can only put into compost?
Connie Gigi I put them in the compost bin. They are saturated with oil and I don't know what you would do with them.
Oil does a good job extracting the healing properties just toss them
Cheese cloth❤❤
i am trying to grow calendula flowers , hope it turns out. My qustion is, when i pop the flowers off, how do i dry them out so i may make the oil later on down the road?
Hi Donna, Place them in a brown paper bag and keep it in a warm place or you can put them on a screen in a warm dark place.
Ty
Yes you can Dry the flowers but don't use excessive heat in the drying process.
I try to keep the temp from 100-110 Fahrenheit
I have been extracting the healing properties of herbs almost 40 years.
I make ointment from Calendula, antirrhinium linaria, and plantago major.
The first two do the healing. The plantago major is Rich in natural sulphur.
This sulphur acts as a germocide to keep the injjury from getting infected.
My bcp ointment was used on everything from diaper rash to sun burn, and finally in a burn Ward.
AMAZING stuff.
I'm doing a calendula cream as a medication for wound healing for my final year project. Should I use the essential oil or infused oil like this?

I woukd not use essential oil because of the alcohol in it.
What i do is get the dried flowers mix with base material (shortening, lard, etc. Heat base material and flowers till they turn dark brown-black and pour through mesh screen or cheese cloth to filter out the herbs.
Never used infused oil so cant help you there.
Thank you!
Joan you have beautiful hands.
Great idea!
very nice
Great simple tutorial video! Can something like Grapeseed oil be used in place of olive oil? I have both but wandered what other options will work just as well for future reference. Thanks!
Diana Turner yes grapeseed would work too. so would jojoba or almond oil. they are all considered extraction oils.
👏👏👏👍
Too funny but Thank you :)
