Clary Sage Essential Oil, Aromatika, 100% Natural, 20ml

Sage Essential Oil (Clary Sage) — Salvia Sclarea Flower Oil

Sage essential oil is extracted from the flowering tops of nutmeg sage (Salvia sclarea). Its spicy, cool aroma makes it a popular choice for room aromatisation, especially during the challenging autumn-winter period. This oil is prized for enhancing hair beauty, making hair smooth, strong, and manageable while controlling excess greasiness. It also supports skin regeneration and smoothing. Aromatherapy with clary sage oil boosts mental efficiency, concentration, and memory performance.

Method of Production

Clary sage essential oil (Oleum Salviae Sclareae) is obtained by steam distillation of the flowering tops of Salvia sclarea L., family Lamiaceae. Aromatika sources its raw materials from Moldova.

Properties

This essential oil is a light, fluid, colourless to pale yellow liquid with a fresh floral, nutty herbal aroma featuring sweet-bitter wine or amber undertones. Some describe it as having dry tobacco and tea-like balsamic nuances. Compared to common sage oil, clary sage oil is less toxic as it contains no thujone.

Cosmetic Benefits

• Skin Care: Ideal for problem, normal, and mature skin. It balances sebaceous gland activity, smooths wrinkles, softens, and promotes skin cell regeneration. Suitable for aftershave products to relieve irritation.

• Deodorizing: Natural deodorant that reduces excessive sweating and unpleasant body odours.

• Hair Care: Cleanses oily hair gently and effectively, limiting sebum overproduction. Restores hair strength, tone, energy, and elasticity.

Note: Essential oils are highly concentrated and must be diluted in carrier oils or emulsifiers before topical use. They do not dissolve in water but blend well with fats, milk, kefir, yoghurt, wax, honey, and salt.

Aromatherapy Benefits

Clary sage oil is both soothing and uplifting. It improves sleep quality and has calming and tonic effects. It restores physical and mental strength, enhances concentration, memory, intuition, and creativity.
