Pure natural organic essential oils

PURE NATURAL ORGANIC ESSENTIAL OILS

An organic essential oil, unlike a conventional one, is a guarantee of quality which attests to the fact that the aromatic plant, flower, vegetable or shrub has been grown on healthy soil devoid of pesticides and other phytosanitary products. The plants used for the production of organic essential oils are subject to the vagaries of nature. For these plants which will be used for the distillation of organic essential oils, the use of chemical fertilizers and other chemical substances is strictly prohibited. Organic cultivation in the context of aromatherapy must meet ambitious and demanding specifications, which are enacted and certified by an independent organization. On the labels of the bottles appears the acronym referring to the plant used, the most famous labels are those of Organic Agriculture Europe (AB) or the Cosmébio label for cosmetic organic essential oils.

How are organic essential oils extracted?

The technique that is spreading is that of steam distillation. The process is simple: water vapor is propelled into a still that contains the plant you want to extract to harvest the substrate: the organic essential oil. By making a journey through the plants, the water vapor is full of active ingredients. The vapor thus loaded is directed into a refrigerated tube, which then forms fine droplets which are received in a container. The collected liquid reveals the organic essential oil on the surface (it rises due to its low density compared to water). The liquid remaining below will be used to make floral water (hydrolat). The other method used to extract citrus fruits (Bergamot, Orange, Yuzu, etc.) lies in pressing the zest mechanically and cold. Organic absolute oils are extracted by another technique: hot enfleurage and cold enfleurage (consists of immersing the plants in a fatty substance, to capture the fragrances) and the Co2 extract.
