Calendula oil

You ll soon be an expert on diaper changing, but here s a tip for the first few days bring oil with you to the hospital—olive oil, calendula oil, or something equally mild. The first poop—called meconium—is extremely sticky. If you coat your baby s bottom with oil first, it makes the poop slide right off. The less wiping, the less tears. After that, warm water and washcloths will suffice. If you prefer baby wipes, buy pure, alcohol- and fragrance-free versions. Tushies makes them. So does Seventh Generation. 

Maceration is the removal of substances by soaking materials in an appropriate liquid. Hot fat is used in maceration to extract essential oils from plant material. The saturated fat is then washed with alcohol to leave pure essential oil, e.g. calendula oil. Maceration is used for extraction of essential oils that cannot be extracted by distillation. 

Oils containing Cjg polyene acids Calendula officinalis seed oil. Calendula oil (from marigold) is of interest because it contains about 58% of calendic acid (8fl0fl2c-18 3). This unusual acid is an isomer of a-eleostearic (9cllfl3f-18 3) present in tung oil, and calendula oil should also be a good drying oil. The presence of linoleic acid (30%) will add to the unsaturated nature of this oil (131-133). 

Calendula oil. Extract of the fat oil from flowers of marigold Calendula officinalis, Asteraceae) for pharmaceutical and cosmetic uses, e. g., anti-inflammatory ointments. C. for technical uses is also obtained from marigold seeds. The seed oil contains large amounts (ca. 60%) of esterified calend(ul)ic acid [(8 ,10 ,12Z)-octadecatrienoic acid, CuHjqOj, Mr 278.44, mp. 40-40.5 °C]. The conjugated double bonds of calendulic acid are readily oxidized and polymerized so that C. can also serve as starting material for paints and varnishes. 

Among five triterpenoids isolated from Calendula officinalis flowers, P-amyrin (119), faradiol (232), i /-taraxasterol (238), taraxasterol (239), and lupeol (238), the diol 232 was the most active. It showed a dose-dependent effect with a potency that equals that of indomethacin (5) in the topical anti-inflammatory assay with croton oil [33]. Esterification at C-3 of 232 with a fatty acid reduced the activity by more than 50% [33] consistent with our observation in the TPA-induced assay described above. The anti-inflammatory properties, as determined by croton oil-induced edema of mouse ear, of faradiol-3-O-myristate (233) and its 3-O-palmitate (234), the main components of lipophilic extracts of C. officinalis flowers, were shown to be contribute significantly to the pronounced antiphlogistic activity of the lipophilic extracts of C. officinalis flowers [34]. 

New oilseed crops, currently studied as potential sources of specialty fatty acids, include Crambe abyssinica for erucic acid, Limnanthes alba for very long-chain fatty acids, Dimorphotheca pluvialis for dimor-phecolic acid, Lesquerella fendleri for les-querolic acid, Calendula officinalis for calendic acid, and Euphorbia lagascae and various Vernonia species for vernolic acid.194 The lowest cost sources (inedible fats and oils and palm oil fractions) are likely most likely to be exhausted first as world trade in industrial applications grows. Cornstarch is becoming a major feedstock for plastics production. This may compete with potential oil uses, but also will increase production of com oil.

The triterpene-enriched fraction of the supercritical CO2 extract of the dried flowers of Calendula officinalis (Asteraceae) inhibited the croton oil-induced ear edema in mice. Of the identified compounds, the faradiol monoesters, lupeol, F-taraxasterol and a mixture of taraxasterol/ 5-amyrin were tested for their anti-inflammatory activity. Faradiol, obtained by hydrolysis of the extract, was the most active compound. It showed a dose-dependent effect with a potency that equals that of indomethacin at 0.14 fimol/cm2 (48% and 47% edema inhibition, respectively). The esterification of faradiol resulted in a reduction of more than 50% in the activity (only 31% inhibition was observed at 0.14 pmol/cm2), whereas 4/-taraxasterol, a C-16P dehydroxylated derivative of faradiol, was less active (47% inhibition at a dose of 0.28 pmol/cm2) [43].

Biopolymers have always been attractive materials in a variety of biomedical appU-cations including transdennal drug deUvery (Petrasic, 2011). Chitosan, a readily available biodegradable and biocompatible biopolymer, has been successfully used in fabrication of microcapsules intended for oral or topical medications. In a smdy of Lam et al., 5-fluoromucil was encapsulated in chitosan microcapsules and subsequently applied to a cotton fabric to a create transdennal delivery vehicle (Lam et al., 2012) 5-fluorouraciI (5-fluoro-lH-pyrimidine-2,4-dione) was chosen for its effective cytotoxic activity in the topical treatment of various forms of skin cancers. It was dissolved in calendula-infused oil and the mixture was then dispersed in the chitosan solution (in acetic acid) and stined into an emulsion. Sodium hydroxide...
