  The Calendula Absolute should not be confused with the Calendula infused oil. The delicate Calendula blossoms cannot be steam distilled. The Calendula Infused Oil, means to infuse the dried Calendula blossoms in olive oil (If the color of the Calendula oil is green, it means it is also diluted by Grape seed Oil). The result, through a slow process, is a Vegetable Oil  and not a Therapeutic grade Essential Oil. The Calendula Absolute, on the other hand, is produced through a distillation method called Solvent Extraction. During this type of extraction, non-volatile components of the botanical material - such as waxes and pigments are also extracted, which produces the purest form of Calendula Therapeutic grade Essential Oil.
