- According to our suppliers, it takes an estimated two tons of osmanthus to produce a single bottle of Osmanthus oil. In order to produce the most oil from osmanthus, the flowers must reach full maturity prior to harvesting, which requires additional time and effort. This is one of the primary reasons why Osmanthus oil is considered pricier than other aromatherapy oils. After harvesting, the osmanthus are then carefully solvent extracted. Edens Garden’s high-quality Osmanthus Absolute oil is sourced from expert growers and distillers in France.
- Osmanthus is actually an absolute oil, which can still be used as an essential oil. Absolute oils are made via solvent extraction. In solvent extraction, a solvent is combined with plant material. The solvent draws the oil out of the plant material, and the solvent and oil are then carefully separated. Certain floral plant materials cannot be used to make essential oils because steam distillation overheats and deteriorates them. Solvent extraction is a gentler method of obtaining aromatherapy oil which is best suited for osmanthus.
- Osmanthus oil’s sweet, floral and sophisticated aroma is not the only reason we love it. Therapeutically, it improves sleep, skincare and mood. Diffused, it helps uplift reduce stress.
