HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Calendula Off. by Wise Woman Herbals

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 12, 2026

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (3 mL) without saying how much of each component you get.

This product contains one active ingredient: calendula, an herbal extract used topically and orally in traditional practice. It comes in liquid form and includes alcohol and spring water as inactive ingredients.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not assessable

This is a single-ingredient Calendula product and its label doesn't state a use — see Calendula's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence we hold for calendula is insufficient to rate it for any condition — including acne, bacterial vaginosis, burns, COPD, liver disease, and radiation dermatitis. That means the studies available don't yet establish whether it works for these uses.

If you're thinking of using it for a specific reason, talk with us about what the research actually shows.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Calendula

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Topically, calendula is generally well tolerated, but it can trigger allergic reactions in people with sensitive skin — especially those allergic to ragweed, chrysanthemums, marigolds, daisies, or other plants in the Asteraceae family. Patch testing with calendula before regular use is recommended to check for allergic response.

Side effects reported rarely include burning, itching, redness, and scaling. Taken by mouth, calendula can cause allergic reactions.

The safety data for oral use is limited, so it's best to avoid taking it by mouth during pregnancy. If you're not pregnant but considering oral use, check with your doctor first.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Calendula

Meds to double-check

Minor interactions only
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Minor only

Only Minor-severity interactions are documented for these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Calendula.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Minor.
  • For scale: 248 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

If you take CNS depressants (sedatives, sleep aids, benzodiazepines, opioids, or muscle relaxers), check your exact medications with the tool on this page before starting calendula.

Cns Depressants

Theoretically, calendula might have additive effects when used with CNS depressants, although this appears to be unlikely.
Although some animal research has suggested that a saponoside constituent in calendula may have sedative effects, calendula has been used for over 30 years without reports of sedation in humans.

Calendula Off. by Wise Woman Herbals: Common Questions

Does Calendula Off. by Wise Woman Herbals interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Calendula Off. has a known interaction with 248 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Calendula Off. contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Can I take this while I'm pregnant?
The safety data for oral calendula in pregnancy advises against it — it's rated likely unsafe. If you're pregnant and interested in calendula, talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
I'm allergic to ragweed. Can I use this?
Calendula is related to ragweed and other plants in the same family, so there's a real risk of allergic reaction if you're sensitive to ragweed. Patch testing is recommended before use. Talk with us first.
What's calendula actually used for?
Calendula is used traditionally both topically on skin and taken by mouth, but the evidence we hold is insufficient to confirm it works for acne, burns, wound healing, or other conditions. That doesn't mean it doesn't work — just that solid proof isn't established yet.
What are the side effects?
Topically, allergic reactions and rarely burning, itching, redness, or scaling have been reported. Taken by mouth, allergic reactions can occur. If you're in the Asteraceae family allergy group, the risk is higher.
This product contains alcohol — how much?
The facts on file don't specify the alcohol percentage. If that matters to you, reach out and we can look into the label or contact the manufacturer for you.
