Also known as Wild Crafted, these are plants foraged from their natural habitat, as opposed to farm grown. Because they are not farmed, Organic certification is not always performed. What is a Steam Distilled Essential Oil? The plant material, in this case, the leaves, is placed into a still; steam is then passed through, which causes the oil to vaporize, the mixture of steam and essential oil then passes through a series of cooling tubes in order to condense the mixture back to a liquid form. This distillate is then traditionally collected in a Florentine flask which further separates the essential oil from the water-based hydrosol. Traditionally, the majority of essential oils are steam distilled. Explore More: Essential Oils Made in Canada using domestic and imported ingredients.
