5. Production Process

1. Sourcing Prime Raw Materials: We meticulously source high-quality calendula flower heads from sustainable farms. The flowers are carefully harvested at the peak of their bloom to ensure maximum extract potency.
2. Extraction Methodology: Employing a combination of advanced extraction techniques, such as steam distillation, supercritical fluid extraction, and maceration. Steam distillation captures the volatile essential oils, while supercritical fluid extraction using carbon dioxide as the solvent further purifies the extract and maximizes yield. Maceration allows for a more thorough extraction of the water-soluble and alcohol-soluble compounds.
3. Purification Steps: After extraction, the crude extract undergoes a series of purification procedures. Filtration, centrifugation, and chromatography are deployed to remove impurities, pigments, and other unwanted substances, resulting in a highly purified Calendula Officinalis Extract.
4. Drying and Packaging: For the liquid form, it is bottled in light-resistant, sealed containers. If in powder form, it is dried using vacuum freeze-drying or spray drying methods and then packaged in light-resistant, sealed bags or drums to safeguard its quality and extend its shelf life.
