Calendula Soap

I'd suggest not using a fragrance if you really want it gentle. I'm a big fan of FOs/EOs but I also like to occasionally use unscented soap.

I have used chamomile (from Oregon Trails) with calendula and the result was very nice - delicate and faintly sweet.

I agree about the low/no scent ...... I use an EO blend based on cedar wood for my calendula soap.

I have two calendula soaps, coloured naturally and scented with a mixture of gardenia and something fruity like yuzu or Energy. Just use a bit less than the recommended amount.
I love yuzu with calendula. The two seem to go together well.
Added: not sure if you can CPOP with the calendula on top. It may dry it out to the point of burning it even with the oven off. Not sure but I wouldn't chance it unless others here have already tried it and can chime in.

I used a sunflower fragrance oil that I purchased from Camden grey. It has a very light citrusy scent. I also added some dried calendula petals into one layer of the soap, colored the second layer with turmeric, and used cocoa for a line between.

I second that the sunflower soap sounds lovely. Gotta pic?...I ask hopefully.
