HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Pot Marigold by Hawaii Pharm

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

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: certified organic Pot Marigold extract (also called calendula). The liquid form uses vegetable palm glycerin, pharmaceutical-grade alcohol, and purified water as inactive ingredients to deliver it.

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 doesn't establish that calendula works for any of the conditions listed — acne, bacterial vaginosis, burns, COPD, liver disease, or radiation dermatitis all fall under insufficient reliable evidence to rate. That doesn't mean it's ineffective; it means the research backing isn't solid enough for us to call it.

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.

Calendula is generally well tolerated when applied to skin, but it can trigger allergic reactions in people who are sensitive to it or to related plants like ragweed, chrysanthemums, and daisies (all in the same plant family). Orally, it may cause allergic reactions.

Rarely, topical use has caused burning, itching, redness, and scaling, though it's not always clear whether calendula alone was responsible. The safety data for taking it by mouth is thin, so oral use during pregnancy is best avoided unless your doctor approves.

Patch testing with calendula is recommended before use, especially if you're sensitive to plants in the ragweed family.

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.

Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take CNS depressants (sedatives, sleep aids, some pain relievers, or anti-anxiety drugs) — calendula might theoretically add to their drowsiness, though the risk is Minor and unproven in people.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Only minor medication interactions are documented, and safety information is well characterized.

Pot Marigold may interest you if you're exploring traditional topical remedies, but the evidence for specific conditions isn't established in our data. If you're pregnant or nursing, or if you take CNS depressants or other medications, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting it.

Always test it on a small area first if you're sensitive to ragweed or related plants.

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.

Pot Marigold by Hawaii Pharm: Common Questions

Does Pot Marigold by Hawaii Pharm interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Pot Marigold 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?
Pot Marigold 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 use this if I have a ragweed allergy?
Calendula belongs to the same plant family as ragweed, chrysanthemums, daisies, and many other herbs, so people allergic to ragweed are at higher risk of reacting to it. Patch testing with calendula is recommended before you use it to find out if you're sensitive. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist first.
Is this safe to take by mouth during pregnancy?
The safety data for oral calendula in pregnancy is limited, so it's best avoided during pregnancy unless your doctor specifically approves it. There isn't enough information on file about use while breastfeeding.
What should I watch for if I use this topically?
Calendula is generally well tolerated on skin, but allergic reactions and rarely itching, redness, burning, and scaling have been reported. If you develop any of these signs, stop using it and talk to your doctor.
Does calendula actually work for burns or wounds?
The evidence we hold doesn't establish that calendula is effective for burns, wounds, or any of the other conditions listed — the research backing isn't strong enough for us to rate it. That doesn't mean people don't use it or report benefits; it just means reliable proof isn't in our data.
What's in this liquid besides the calendula?
The product uses vegetable palm glycerin, pharmaceutical-grade alcohol, and purified artesian Hawaiian water to deliver the extract.
