- HANDCRAFTED FROM SEED TO SKIN: Carefully cold-pressed from wild-harvested seeds, Shea Terra’s egyptian calendula cold press extra virgin oil is made without heat or refining—preserving the delicate vitamins and plant nutrients that make this a favorite for skin nourishment.

- ETHICALLY SOURCED & CLEAN FORMULA: Since 2000, Shea Terra has worked closely with local harvesters to source high-quality seeds using fair trade and sustainable methods. This oil is free from parabens, sulfates, synthetic dyes, and artificial fragrance—always cruelty-free.
The calendula plant has been the go to plant to help heal skin affected by conditions ranging from eczema to mosquito bites. Calendula gets its soothing and regenerative powers from its high level of triterpenoid and calendic acid. The flower offers anti-spasmodic and anti-inflammatory properties. It's been used for thousands of years to help calm as well as repair skin. Our rare calendula oil is pressed directly from the seeds and flowers. Typical "calendula oil" is actually a maceration of the flowers in a base oil such as olive or almond. Producing a pure calendula seed oil is costly.
The oil is sourced from the Nile fed region of Egypt where fields of calendula plants grow to their prime in the basking Sahara Desert. The deep orange blossoms glow in contrast to the nutrient rich black silt soil created thousands, perhaps billions of years ago by the Nile River. One can travel for hours through nothing but sandy barren quarters of the Sahara to be greeted with flowing fields of calendula, chamomile, black seed and every imaginable green herbage.
Natural Beauty that EmpowersShea Terra Organics is founded by Tammie Umbel, an enterprising super mom, who built the company while homeschooling 14 of her children. Shea Terra Organics grew out of Tammie's vision to develop natural skin care treatments that would not only heal and beautify those who use them, but also empower and enrich the lives of many impoverished villages and families throughout Africa.
Since early 2000, Shea Terra Organics has been working with cooperatives and conservation groups to source our natural, organic ingredients in a sustainable and ethical way that would create economic opportunities and preserve wildlife. We share these indigenous, time-tested healing ingredients through our breadth of product lines, which include facial care, body treatments, hair herbals and maternity & newborn remedies.
