Green Tea + Calendula Infused Argan / Coconut / Avocado Oil is an ORY® Build-Your-Own infused oil: dried Green Tea and Calendula steeped in the customer’s choice of Argan Oil or Coconut Oil or Avocado Oil, then strained and protected with vitamin E and rosemary antioxidant. It pairs green tea’s antioxidant and sebum-balancing evidence with calendula’s healing calm in the customer’s choice of a nourishing carrier — argan for face and hair, coconut for body and pre-wash hair care, avocado for very dry skin and coarse hair. Each botanical brings peer-reviewed support — Green Tea: green tea polyphenols reduced UV-induced sunburn and DNA damage in human skin, topical EGCG improved acne in a human trial, and EGCG prolonged the growth phase of cultured human hair follicles; Calendula: calendula extract accelerated wound healing in preclinical models, reduced radiation dermatitis in a phase III randomized trial, and is supported by a systematic review of wound-healing studies. Antioxidant defense meets repair in a rich carrier. Because it is an anhydrous oil, it needs no preservative and can be used neat, blended into creams and balms, massaged into the scalp, folded into cosmetics, or added to handmade soap as a superfat or recipe oil, depending on the carrier.
What is Green Tea + Calendula Infused Argan / Coconut / Avocado Oil made of?
Green Tea + Calendula Infused Argan / Coconut / Avocado Oil is compounded from dried botanicals and cold-pressed or plant-derived carriers. Components and what each contributes:
Carrier selection: customers choose one carrier — Argan Oil for mature, dry, and normal skin (low comedogenicity); Coconut Oil for dry body skin (not acne-prone faces — comedogenic ~4); Avocado Oil for very dry, mature, and sun-damaged skin (comedogenic ~2–3).
- Green Tea (Camellia sinensis leaves): catechins (EGCG — mainly water-soluble, partly captured), caffeine, chlorophyll, vitamin E, and lipophilic aroma compounds. Evidence — green tea polyphenols reduced UV-induced sunburn and DNA damage in human skin, topical EGCG improved acne in a human trial, and EGCG prolonged the growth phase of cultured human hair follicles.
- Calendula (Calendula officinalis petals): faradiol triterpene esters, carotenoids (lutein, beta-carotene), phytosterols — highly oil-soluble. Evidence — calendula extract accelerated wound healing in preclinical models, reduced radiation dermatitis in a phase III randomized trial, and is supported by a systematic review of wound-healing studies.
- Argan Oil: light-to-medium, nourishing, vitamin-E-rich; best for mature, dry, and normal skin (low comedogenicity); hair — the hero anti-frizz, shine hair oil for all textures; soap — conditioning at 5–10% of oils or superfat; shelf life 12–18 months.
- Coconut Oil: solid at room temperature, rich, lauric-rich, antimicrobial; best for dry body skin (not acne-prone faces — comedogenic ~4); hair — pre-shampoo treatments that reduce protein loss, coily/curly sealing; soap — foundation oil for hardness and lather (20–30% of oils); shelf life 2+ years.
- Avocado Oil: rich, deeply penetrating, sterol- and vitamin-rich; best for very dry, mature, and sun-damaged skin (comedogenic ~2–3); hair — deep conditioning for thick, dry, and coily hair; soap — conditioning, creamy lather at 5–20% of oils; shelf life 12 months.
- Vitamin E (0.5–1%) and rosemary oleoresin (0.1%): Antioxidant protection of the infusion.

Pros and cons of Green Tea + Calendula Infused Argan / Coconut / Avocado Oil
Pros
Cons
- Evidence-backed botanicals: Green Tea and Calendula each carry peer-reviewed support.
- Customer-matched carrier: Choice of carrier tailors feel and skin fit.
- Preservative-free and multi-use: Neat, in creams, on the scalp, in cosmetics, in soap.
- Natural positioning: Whole-botanical infusion in plant carriers.
- Stable: Antioxidant-protected; shelf life 12 months (shortest carrier).
- Infusion captures oil-soluble actives only: Water-soluble compounds (green tea catechins, willow salicin) are only partly transferred — pair with extracts for full activity.
- Potency varies: Botanical quality, ratio, and steeping time affect strength; ORY® standardizes its method.
- Allergy cautions: oil infusion captures only part of the water-soluble catechins — ORY® adds tea polyphenol palmitate or green tea extract where full EGCG activity is wanted; Asteraceae allergy — patch test.
- Carrier limits: Argan Oil: conditioning at 5–10% of oils or superfat; Coconut Oil: foundation oil for hardness and lather (20–30% of oils); Avocado Oil: conditioning, creamy lather at 5–20% of oils.
- Claims discipline: Hair and healing benefits are cosmetic (“supports,” “helps calm”) — not drug claims.
