Calendula cream is good for acne and other skin complaints such as eczema and has antimicrobial properties. Due to this it can also be added to soap for these benefits. It also looks sensational!

To use dried calendula petals in soap making, you can add them directly to your soap mixture. However, it's important to keep in mind that the petals may turn brown over time, which can affect the appearance of your soap. Alternatively, you can infuse the dried calendula petals in oil first to better preserve the colour and properties of the petals. This can be done by placing the petals in a jar with a carrier oil such as olive oil or coconut oil and letting it sit for several weeks.
