For adults (grown-ups, women, men): Calendula flower is usually safe to use on the skin. Overall risk is low.
Before using a new calendula product, try a small patch on the inner forearm and wait 24 hours to check for redness or itching. Use as directed on the product label. Avoid putting it on deep cuts or infected skin. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding and worried, check with your healthcare provider.
Some people who are allergic to plants in the aster/marigold family may get a rash or swelling — stop use if that happens. Industry safety reviews recommend limits on concentrations and attention to product purity (Cosmetic Ingredient Review). The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recognizes calendula as safe for certain limited uses, which supports its low overall concern. Watch for signs of allergic reaction (redness, itching, blistering) and seek medical help if you have severe symptoms.
