THE STORY OF NANOESSENTIAL CALENDULA
Nanoessential Calendula: The Botanical Oil for Calm, Repair & Skin Comfort
Nanoessential Calendula is a soothing, lipid-rich extract made by infusing Calendula (Calendula officinalis) blossoms into a plant carrier oil. Celebrated for its skin-repairing, anti-redness, anti-inflammatory and barrier-strengthening effects, it is widely used in baby care, sensitive-skin creams, healing balms, body oils, and traditional herbal skincare.
Flower Petals Infused into Carrier Oil for Full-Spectrum Actives
Nanoessential Calendula is traditionally produced by slow maceration of dried calendula petals into oils like sunflower, jojoba, olive, or sweet almond. This extraction transfers oil-soluble phyto-compounds such as carotenoids, flavonoids, sterols, and triterpenes into a nourishing skincare oil. TRCkem supplies cosmetic-grade clarified oil with standardized active content and mild natural aroma.

Formulator’s Queries, We Answered
1. What is Nanoessential Calendula?
Nanoessential Calendula is a nano-engineered form of Calendula Oil (or Calendula Seed/Flower Oil), where the oil’s active components are encapsulated or formulated into nano- or micro-nano particles. This technology enhances delivery, stability (especially against oxidation), skin penetration, and overall performance in skin care, hair care, and other personal care formulations.
2. What is Calendula Oil and why is it valued in cosmetics?
Calendula Oil comes from Calendula officinalis (e.g. the seeds, flowers, or both). It is prized for its soothing, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and skin conditioning properties. It’s often used in products aimed at sensitive, irritated, or aging skin, including creams, balms, lotions, serums, and sometimes in hair care to soothe the scalp.
3. How does Nanoessential Calendula differ from standard Calendula Oil?
Nanoessential Calendula maintains the natural benefits of regular Calendula Oil but improves on them by:
- Better stability (slower oxidation, longer shelf life)
- Improved penetration into the skin layers
- More even dispersion in formulations (less greasiness, lighter feel)
- Enhanced efficacy with lower usage (due to improved bioavailability)
4. What are the benefits of using Nanoessential Calendula in personal care formulations?
Enhanced soothing of irritated or sensitive skin
Strong antioxidant action to reduce free radical damage
Moisturization and improved skin barrier repair
Improved texture: lighter, non-greasy, smooth feel
Potentially more consistent scent and skin finish in formulations
5. Which types of personal care products is Nanoessential Calendula best suited for?
Some ideal applications include:
- Facial creams, balms, and serums (especially for sensitive or reactive skin)
- Body lotions and oils
- Post-sun or after-shave care
- Hair oils, scalp treatments, and conditioning formulas
- Baby care or delicate skin products
6. What is the CAS Number and INCI Name of Calendula Oil / Calendula Seed Oil?
CAS Number: 84776-23-8 for Calendula officinalis Seed Oil
INCI Name: Calendula Officinalis Seed Oil
If using the flower or extract form, sometimes INCI is Calendula Officinalis Extract or Calendula Officinalis Flower/Seed Oil / Flower Extract depending on the type.
7. Is Nanoessential Calendula safe for skin and hair use?
Yes. Calendula Oil is broadly considered safe and well tolerated in cosmetics, especially when properly processed and preserved. As with any botanical oil, there is a possibility of allergy or skin sensitivity in some individuals, so patch testing is recommended. Nano-formulations should be tested for stability, irritation, and purity. Proper storage (protected from light, air) remains important to preserve quality.
8. How should formulators incorporate Nanoessential Calendula into their formulations?
Add during the oil phase (for O/W or W/O emulsions) or during the cooling phase if needed.
Use suitable emulsifiers, carriers, or encapsulation methods if needed to stabilize nano particles.
Typical usage levels might range from 0.5% to 5% (or as per formulation goals), depending on product type (serum, lotion, balm, etc.).
Include natural antioxidants (like tocopherol / vitamin E) to protect against oxidation.
9. Which skin types benefit most from Nanoessential Calendula?
Sensitive, irritated, or reactive skin for its soothing properties
Dry or compromised skin barrier for moisturization and repair
Aging skin to help with antioxidant protection and skin tone
Scalp care – for soothing and calming effects
