The Original That Started Everything
Sometimes the first version is the perfect version. This is pure calendula care—no additions, no complications. Just our signature calendula-infused olive oil, beeswax, bee pollen, and vitamin E working together to create profound comfort.
Apply it and feel immediate relief. Irritation calms. Redness fades. Dry patches soften. Your skin finds its balance again. The golden colour comes from our careful infusion process—slow heat extraction that captures calendula’s benefits without damaging them, then rested to develop full potency.
The formula is intentionally simple. Calendula-infused olive oil delivers deep calm while supporting your skin’s natural repair processes. Beeswax creates a breathable barrier that locks in moisture. Bee pollen adds its remarkable nutrients—proteins, vitamins, and compounds that support healing. Vitamin E preserves everything while adding antioxidant protection.
This is the balm that built our reputation. Parents use it on children’s scraped knees. Gardeners reach for it after a day in the sun. Anyone with sensitive, reactive skin keeps it close. It works because it’s gentle enough for the most delicate skin, yet powerful enough to make a real difference.
Perfect for everyday irritations, minor cuts, dry patches, or whenever your skin needs uncomplicated care. The texture is rich but never heavy. The scent is purely natural—herbs and warm wax. Your skin simply feels better.
Sometimes you don’t need more ingredients. You need the right ones.
Ingredients & Composition
Our signature infusion. We steep whole calendula flowers in extra virgin olive oil until it transforms into liquid gold—a process that captures the plant's full anti-inflammatory and regenerative power. This infusion calms irritated skin, from eczema to psoriasis, while supporting tissue repair and natural healing processes. The antioxidants fight free radicals and support collagen production, softening the appearance of fine lines. Rich in beneficial fats, it forms a protective barrier that locks in moisture and improves elasticity. Gentle enough for the most sensitive skin, potent enough to deliver visible results.
Nature's protective seal. This golden wax creates a breathable barrier that locks in moisture and shields skin from environmental damage without clogging pores. Rich in vitamin A and antioxidants, it supports cell regeneration and collagen production, helping to soften fine lines while maintaining elasticity. The anti-inflammatory properties calm irritated skin—from eczema to rosacea—while its emollient nature keeps skin soft and hydrated. Despite forming a protective layer, beeswax remains non-comedogenic, making it suitable even for acne-prone skin. It helps minor cuts and abrasions heal while reducing itching and discomfort. This is what keeps all the beneficial ingredients working where they're needed most.
Nature's nutrient powerhouse. This golden treasure contains a complex array of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids that nourish skin at the cellular level. Its potent antioxidants—including flavonoids and hydroxy acids—fight free radical damage while reducing the appearance of wrinkles. The anti-inflammatory compounds calm redness and irritation, while antimicrobial agents like pinocembrin help combat acne-causing bacteria. By promoting collagen production and strengthening the skin barrier, bee pollen improves firmness and elasticity. It stimulates blood flow to skin cells, supporting natural detoxification and repair processes. A concentrated source of skin-supporting nutrients that helps your complexion heal, renew, and thrive.
The dual protector. This powerful antioxidant works two ways—protecting your skin and preserving the formula. For your skin, it neutralises free radicals that cause premature ageing while strengthening the moisture barrier to prevent water loss. Its anti-inflammatory properties soothe irritated skin and help with conditions like eczema. By promoting collagen production and improving elasticity, it helps soften fine lines and even skin tone. For the formula, vitamin E prevents the precious oils from oxidising, maintaining their potency and extending shelf life naturally. It ensures every ingredient stays fresh and effective from first use to last—protection that works inside the jar and on your skin.
Mediterranean gold for your skin. Rich in squalene and monounsaturated fatty acids, extra virgin olive oil delivers deep hydration while strengthening your skin's natural barrier against moisture loss. The polyphenols and vitamin E work as powerful antioxidants, neutralising free radicals and protecting against premature ageing. Its anti-inflammatory properties calm irritation and reduce redness while supporting the healing of damaged tissue. Promoting collagen production, it helps maintain elasticity and firmness, softening the appearance of fine lines. This ancient oil doesn't just moisturise—it actively nourishes, protects, and helps restore skin to its healthiest state. A perfect balance of gentle care and powerful results.

Preserved in Amber Glass
Why Amber Glass? Performance Through Protection.
When formulating our products, the vessel matters as much as what it contains. Amber glass represents our commitment to preserving botanical potency and delivering measurable results.
The Science of Preservation
Amber glass blocks 90-95% of UV radiation through iron and sulfur compounds integrated into the glass structure. This selective light filtration prevents photodegradation—the breakdown of active compounds when exposed to light. For formulations rich in antioxidants, essential oils, and botanical extracts, this protection translates directly to maintained efficacy.
Studies demonstrate vitamin C serums in amber glass retain potency three times longer than those in clear containers. Essential oils maintain their therapeutic properties. Botanical extracts preserve their bioactive compounds. This isn’t an aesthetic choice—it’s performance preservation.
Chemical Integrity
Glass is chemically inert. Unlike plastic containers that can leach plasticisers or react with essential oils, glass maintains absolute barrier integrity. No migration, no interaction, no compromise. Your formulation remains exactly as crafted, from first application to last.
The impermeable nature of glass also prevents moisture ingress and oxidation—two primary causes of product degradation. Combined with light protection, this creates optimal preservation conditions for our unrefined, organic ingredients.
Measurable Benefits
- Extended Potency: Active ingredients maintain efficacy throughout the product’s lifespan
- Texture Stability: Formulations retain their intended melt point and absorption rate
- Scent Preservation: Natural aromatic compounds remain true without oxidation
- Colour Integrity: Botanical ingredients maintain their natural hues
Sustainable by Design
Amber glass is infinitely recyclable without quality degradation. Each jar can be repurposed, recycled, or returned to the glass stream indefinitely. This aligns with our commitment to considered production—creating products that perform without environmental compromise.
Performance through protection. Results preserved in amber.
This balm is rich and concentrated—a little goes far.
Daily care: Warm a small amount between your fingers until it softens. Apply to any area needing comfort—dry patches, irritated skin, minor cuts, or scrapes. Morning and evening, or as needed throughout the day.
Face ritual: After cleansing, press a thin layer onto damp skin. Perfect for sensitive complexions that react to everything else. Can be used alone or layered over your favorite serum for extra protection.
Healing support: For minor wounds, scratches, or sunburn, apply a generous layer and let it work. Reapply 2-3 times daily. The calendula and bee pollen support your skin’s natural repair processes.
Family essential: Keep one in the bathroom, one in the kitchen. Safe for the whole family—from children’s scraped knees to gardener’s rough hands. This is the balm that gets reached for first.
Barrier protection: Before exposure to harsh weather or irritating conditions, apply as a protective layer. The beeswax creates a breathable shield while the calendula prevents irritation.
This original formula is for everyone, but especially:
Perfect for: Sensitive or reactive skin needing gentle care. Families looking for one balm that works for everyone. Anyone dealing with everyday irritations, dry patches, or minor skin issues. Those who prefer simple, proven formulas over complicated routines.
Excellent for: Children’s delicate skin (safe from age 3+). Post-procedure care when skin needs gentle healing. Eczema, dermatitis, or rosacea-prone skin. As a protective balm for outdoor activities.
Consider if: You prefer lighter textures—this is intentionally rich. You’re looking for anti-aging benefits—choose our Plus formula instead.
The beauty is in its versatility. One jar, countless uses, consistent results.
Your balm is alive with botanical compounds. Here’s how to keep it at its best.
Simple care: Store in a cool, dry place to maintain the perfect texture. Keep the lid tight to preserve the natural herbal scent. Use within 6-12 months of opening for peak potency, though it remains safe beyond that.
What makes it special: Each batch varies slightly. The golden colour depends on the calendula harvest—sometimes deeper, sometimes lighter. The texture shifts with seasons—firmer in winter, softer in summer. The natural scent changes based on when the flowers were picked.
These variations are proof of authenticity. The calendula in your jar was growing in soil months ago. The olive oil carries the character of its harvest. The bee pollen reflects what flowers the bees visited that season.
We celebrate these differences—each jar tells the story of when its ingredients were gathered. If your balm feels firmer than expected, warm it between your fingers. If the colour varies from photos, you’re seeing nature’s true variation. This is what real, uncompromised skincare looks like.
We use pure botanicals. Here’s what you should know.
Before first use: While this is our gentlest formula, patch test if you have very sensitive skin—apply behind your ear and wait 24 hours. Your skin will tell you if it’s happy.
Important to know: Contains beeswax and bee pollen. If you’re allergic to bee products, this isn’t for you. All our products are made in the same workshop where we also use nut oils and essential oils. While we clean thoroughly between batches, those with severe allergies should be aware. Safe for children from age 3+, gentle enough for elderly skin.
External use only. Keep away from eyes. Don’t ingest.
Our promise: This is a cosmetic product designed to improve your skin’s appearance and comfort. It’s not medicine. While calendula has remarkable properties, we can’t claim to treat medical conditions. If you have serious skin conditions, consult your dermatologist. If you’re pregnant or nursing, it’s generally considered safe, but check with your doctor if concerned.
Everything we say is based on traditional use, research, and decades of customer experience, but it’s not medical advice. We’re skincare makers, not doctors.
