Tagetes Essential Oil (Mexican Marigold)

Steam Distilled | Tagetes minuta | Purifying, Uplifting & Rejuvenating

Our organically crafted Tagetes Essential Oil, also known as Mexican Marigold Oil, is steam distilled from the vibrant orange blossoms of the Tagetes minuta plant—an aromatic species native to the southern regions of South America. Known for its bold, herbaceous presence, this oil exudes a warm, sweet, slightly pungent aroma with a fruity green apple-like undertone that’s unmistakably unique.

Often referred to as Southern Cone Marigold, Tagetes is now cultivated across the globe and prized for both its therapeutic and aromatic properties. Though commonly called “Marigold,” Tagetes Essential Oil is distinct from Calendula (Calendula officinalis)—a frequent point of confusion among botanical oils.
