Clary Sage Oil

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.

  • Helps maintain firm and radiant skin thanks to its toning effect and antioxidant content.
  • Soothes skin irritation and muscles soreness.
  • Lifts spirits, encourages feelings of well-being and helps to take a step back when inhaled.
