Description
White Sage essential oil is steam distilled from the leaves of Salvia apiana, a plant native to Southern California and northwestern Mexico. It has a bold, camphoraceous, herbaceous aroma and is a crisp, clean middle note.
White sage has deep cultural and ceremonial significance for Indigenous communities of Southern California, and in aromatherapy its crisp scent is popular for creating a fresh, clean atmosphere in diffusers and room sprays. It pairs well with cedarwood, frankincense, palo santo and juniper berry. As wild populations are under harvesting pressure, cultivated sources are best. It can irritate skin and eyes, so dilute well and patch test first.
