Calendula Maceration
Details
The flower is associated with the Virgin Mary. Marigold means Mary's golden halo. Traditionally used for all kinds of skin problems. The dried flowers are considered a saffron substitute. Gritman macerations are made from plants growing in the Gritman Garden. We use Fractionated Coconut Oil as the solvent to absorb all the fat soluble properties of the plant. Macerations are essential oils but more as they have the fat soluble parts of the plant that are too large to be distilled. The scent is not as strong as the essential oil but the essential oil properties are still there and at the same time they bring with them their own carrier.
