2 DIY Calendula oil recipes for scalp issues. Simple, fast and effective

How to Make Calendula Oil for Hair

There are two methods you can use to make your own Calendula oil. For both methods, you will need the following ingredients:-

  • Dried Calendula petals
  • Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), extra virgin coconut oil (EVCO), almond oil or sunflower oil. You can also use a mix of these natural oils.  
  • Clean glass jar like this one

How to Make Calendula Oil – Method 1

  • Put the dried Calendula petals in the glass jar and fill the jar halfway with your carrier oil of choice.
  • Stir and cover up the jar.
  • Steep the petals for up to 4 weeks in the jar.
  • After 4 weeks, drain the oil and discard the petals.
  • Store the oil in a glass jar. It can last up to a year if you keep the lid closed tightly between uses and stored in the refrigerator.
  • You can add star anise seed oil or vitamin E oil to act as a mild preservative.

Fresh Calendula Flowers

Directions

  • Cut the flower heads from your Calendula plant. 
  • Spread on a flat spray and leave out to dry for a few days. You can also use a dehydrator to make the process faster. I like the Hamilton Beach Brand.
  • Once dry, pluck the petals from the flower heads and you have your dried Calendula petals.
  • To make the Calendula oil, follow method 1 or 2 outlined above.
