The Healing Powers of Calendula in Skincare and Teas

Why this golden bloom deserves a starring role in your wellness routine

At OmMade Skincare, we’re all about bringing ancient wisdom into modern rituals—and when it comes to natural skin and wellness heroes, Calendula officinalis is one of the greats. 

This vibrant orange bloom, sometimes known as “pot marigold,” has been used for centuries to soothe, heal and restore—both inside and out. And in true OmMade fashion, we’ve harnessed its botanical brilliance in two of our most loved products: our Calendula Soothing Balm and our Divine Detox Herbal Tea.

Whether you're sipping on it or smoothing it onto your skin, Calendula works wonders for calming inflammation, speeding up healing, and nourishing your body from the inside out.

What Makes Calendula So Special?

Sure, Calendula is a pretty flower, but trust us when we say it offers a lot more than just good looks. Calendula is packed with phytochemicals like flavonoids, carotenoids, and triterpenoids, all of which are known for their anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. That means this little bloom helps protect your skin against environmental stressors, supports wound healing, and reduces redness and irritation.

Better still, it's gentle enough for even the most sensitive skin types, and is often used to calm everything from eczema and dermatitis to rashes and sunburn.

For Your Skin: Our Calendula Soothing Balm

If your skin is crying out for calm, OmMade Calendula Soothing Balm is your botanical first aid kit.

Formulated with organic calendula oil and extract, along with nourishing shea butter, coconut oil, and essential oils of lavender and patchouli, this balm helps calm irritation, reduce inflammation, and support skin regeneration. Thanks to the addition of zinc oxide, it also forms a natural protective barrier—perfect for nappy rash, freshly inked skin, windburn, or minor cuts and scrapes.

Why we love it:

• 100% natural, vegan-friendly, and cruelty-free.
• Safe for sensitive skin—no preservatives, water or hidden nasties.
• Concentrated and powerful—no fillers, just skin-loving ingredients.
• Great for all ages (but always do a patch test first!).

Use it anywhere or anytime you need a bit of extra TLC. It's especially handy for travel, new mums, and anyone who appreciates a truly natural balm that works.

For Your Body: Divine Detox Tea

Healing from the inside out? Yes please. Our Divine Detox Herbal Tea stars Calendula alongside a lineup of lymphatic-loving herbs like burdock root, dandelion root, nettle, peppermint and red clover. The goal? Gentle yet powerful detoxification.

Calendula in this blend helps support the lymphatic system—a major part of your body's natural waste removal process. By encouraging lymph flow and easing inflammation, calendula helps your body eliminate toxins more effectively, which in turn promotes clearer, calmer skin.

Why we’re sipping it:

• Targets the lymphatic system for a whole-body cleanse.
• Naturally sweet, aromatic, and caffeine-free.
• Delicious hot or iced with a splash of lemon.
• Pairs perfectly with our Herbal Tea Mocktail recipes (check out our Hidden Treasure Botanical Mocktail eBook).

And of course, all our ingredients are 100% organic, ethically sourced, and packaged with the planet in mind.

Please note: This tea is not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and should be avoided by those with high blood pressure.

Calendula for Inside and Out

The magic of calendula lies in its versatility. Whether you’re steeping it in a mug or applying it topically, Calendula delivers a potent dose of plant power that supports healing, reduces inflammation, and brings the skin and body back into balance.

At OmMade, we believe wellness starts with ingredients you can trust. And Calendula? She’s the real deal.
