For adults and teens, calendula (pot marigold) flower extract used on the skin is usually safe and has low reported risks. It is often used to soothe skin.
If you want to use a product with calendula: do a small patch test first on your inner arm, follow the product label, stop use if you get redness, itching, or swelling, and choose products from makers who list ingredient details. If you have known allergies to daisies, marigolds, or similar plants, avoid it or check with your doctor before use.
Some safety guidance and restrictions come from industry safety reviewers (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) who note limits on concentration and call out gaps in safety data. Also, some product verification programs require makers to show safety evidence before including calendula. Watch for allergic reactions (redness, rash, itching) and avoid use on broken skin or near the eyes.
