Description
"Cilantro Essential Oil" is steam-distilled from the leaves of Coriandrum sativum, an herb prized for its fresh, herbaceous scent. Native to the Mediterranean, cilantro has long been celebrated in both culinary and wellness traditions. In aromatherapy, its bright aroma enhances clarity and refreshes the senses, fostering focus when diffused. Diluted for topical use, it offers purifying and revitalizing effects. Harmonizing well with citrus and herbal extracts, cilantro oil remains a vibrant addition to botanical blends and natural wellness applications.
