Sage Oil

Sage (Dalmatian)

Antimicrobial, astringent, cognitive support, menopausal relief, antiseptic

Product Description

Sage oil (Salvia officinalis, also known as Dalmatian sage) is steam-distilled from the partially dried leaves and flowering tops of this revered Mediterranean herb. Distinguished from Spanish sage and clary sage by its high thujone content, Dalmatian sage essential oil has a powerful, penetrating, herbaceous-camphoraceous aroma that has made it indispensable in traditional European herbalism since antiquity. The genus name Salvia derives from the Latin 'salvare' (to heal), reflecting its historical status as a panacea. Our sage oil is produced from plants cultivated in Zhejiang Province, where the temperate climate and well-drained soils produce oil with a thujone/camphor balance characteristic of premium Dalmatian-type sage. Each batch undergoes rigorous QC testing for thujone content to ensure compliance with regulatory limits for food and cosmetic applications.
