CALENDULA is currently out of stock. This is a difficult oil to source, and in its pure form it comes in a thick resinoid 'paste' texture, so it's not only difficult to find, but then you need to carefully sample it before buying it to ensure it's not too thick and can we worked with. - We are looking for a good source, and as soon as we get it back in stock we'll make it available here on the website.
Special Notes on Calendula: Available in 2 ml size only. Calendula is a pure and undiluted absolute, very concentrated, and comes in a very thick resinoid consistency. It is packaged in a 2 ml amber bottle without a dropper cap insert because it is too thick to pour. It's texture is comparable to caramel, so although it could be thoroughly warmed for 'drop' pouring, it will need to be dipped/scooped out of the bottle. The 2 ml bottles do have a wide mouth top for easy access. It is not sticky and will easily blend well. Poured to 2.1 - 2.2 milliliters per bottle.
*Special Calendula-Jojoba Mixture: We advertise throughout our site that we only sell pure and undiluted Essential Oils, but due to the thick (& expensive) consistency of the pure Calendula we are offering a limited quantity of a dilution consisting of 13% pure Calendula, 87% Jojoba (clear-refined Jojoba). This dilution is sold in a 15 ml (1/2 ounce) bottle for $18. - Why 13%: we simply poured the 2 ml size of Calendula into the 15 ml bottle and topped it off with Jojoba clear, so it's 13.3% Calendula and 86.6% Jojoba clear. |
