100% Pure & Natural Essential oil

          This species of plant is known by many names such as Cistus, Labdanum, Rose of Sharon or Rock Rose. The extracts of this species are normally separated into only 2 names, Cistus referring to extracts which come from leaves and stems and Labdanum referring to extracts which come the gum or resinoid. Both extracts come from different parts of the same species of plant. Additionally, the oil from the leaves is steam distilled while the resinoid is solvent extracted using ethanol from the gum. This creates two very different oils in composition, appearance and aroma.

          Cistus Essential oil is one of the most complex essential oils. It has a beautiful and unusual aroma well suited for perfumery, especially blended with vanilla or benzoin in oriental perfume bases. It is oil soluble with a thin consistency that is easy to work with.

          Emotionally, Cistus is calming and focusing. Therapeutically, Cistus essential oil has potential in skin care and detoxifying lymph nods or cellulite formulations.
