I would save them for creams and lotions. There is a CO2 extracted Calendula Extract (in fact two of them)...that can be warmed and diluted in whatever carrier you choose... or you can make your own infusion using an oil other than olive if you want. either way, it really has to be oil based, water infusions are not traditionally made of calendula and I am assuming that's because the skin healing effects don't come thru in water the way they do in oil.
