What Is Calendula Flower Glycerin Extract?
Calendula Flower Glycerin Extract is an alcohol-free glycerin extract of the pot marigold, Calendula officinalis, carried in glycerin so it blends gently into a formula's water phase. It is supplied full-spectrum and non-standardized, offering skin-care and baby-care developers a time-honored soothing floral in a mild, humectant-rich base that suits sensitive and gentle-care positioning.
Market Demand
Calendula's popularity in natural skin care is anchored to the broader growth of plant-derived cosmetic ingredients; IndustryARC has valued the global plant extract market on a path toward USD 14.162 billion by 2026 at a 6.3% CAGR. As that category expands, trusted florals like marigold tend to capture an outsized share of new gentle-care launches, and a glycerin-based calendula extract lets brands attach a beloved name to that momentum in an alcohol-free system.
Formulation Applications
The glycerin carrier suits soothing creams, lotions, gentle cleansers, baby washes, toners, and mask essences that work through the water phase, blended cold or with gentle warmth and easy to combine with other calming botanicals. With no functions on file, the extract is positioned on calendula's calming, gentle, clean-beauty character rather than any consumer health claim. The mild glycerin base makes it especially suited to formulas aimed at delicate or reactive skin, where a soft botanical story matters.
Why Formulators Choose Bio-Botanica
Family-owned since 1972, Bio-Botanica processes these blossoms at its FDA-inspected cGMP facility in Hauppauge, New York with low-heat Bio-Chelated extraction that keeps a Holistically Balanced profile of naturally occurring constituents intact. Every batch is verified onsite for identity, microbial, and heavy-metal specifications using HPLC and ICP/MS, so a gentle-care staple arrives with full documentation, and Kosher, Halal, and Organic certification is available on request.
