Calendula in Rapeseed Oil

Local Rapeseed Oil with Calendula (Marigold) Petals
I am delighted and very excited to show you a first glimpse of some local virgin cold pressed rapeseed oil that i am cold infusing (or macerating) with beautiful sunshine calendula petals. If this doesn't shout 'summer!' then i don't know what does.

In 3 weeks or so this oil will be ready - the healing properties of the calendula petals would have infused into the virgin rapeseed oil to produce a very kind and healing blend for the skin. And, with this oil i plan to make some balms - perhaps some intense moisturising balm for the lips and some for the hands using appropriate essential oils.

I promised a gardeners blend too i know - i will make this first for all those keen gardeners as you return to the garden this spring with lots to do to prepare for the coming growing months!

I will keep you posted with progress.....
