Ours is a CO2 Select extract of the leaves of ethically cultivated plants, from Germany. The aroma is distinctly strong, both herbaceous and camphoric, and invigorating. It is high in thujone and camphor, which makes it an oil to be respected.DetailsBotanical name: Salvia officinalisAlso known as: Dalmatian, True or Common SageMethod: CO2 Select extraction of the leavesOrigin: Germany, ethically cultivatedShelf life: about 2 to 3 years after openingHow to useUse it sparingly and always diluted: Robert Tisserand gives a maximum dermal use of 0.4% for sage essential oil.
