Clary Sage Oil

Salvia sclarea

With a comforting and sensual scent, clary sage oil alleviates the mood and tones the skin.

Where do we get it?

Lush purchases this oil mainly from a producer in Hungary. When they cannot meet our production needs, we can buy from a few other sources, all based in European countries.

What are the benefits for the planet?

In Hungary, workers harvest the flowers in summer and put them through steam distillation to obtain the essential oil. In order to have the least possible impact on the environment, they have invested in a circular water system. Rainwater is collected and used for the entire distillation process, then cleaned and used again and again.
