Origin

Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Oil comes from the leaves of the rosemary plant. Fresh or dried rosemary leaves are placed in a distillation apparatus where steam is passed through them (steam distillation). The heat and steam cause the essential oil to be released from the plant material. The steam and oil vapor is then condensed back into liquid form, and the essential oil is separated from the water. This process captures the aromatic compounds, resulting in pure rosemary leaf oil.
