Sage essential oil

The name comes from the Latin word "salvere", meaning "to heal" or "to be well". Common sage (Salvia Officinalis) is a well-known aromatic herb native to the Mediterranean, traditionally used in natural medicine for centuries. The essential oil is obtained by steam distillation from the leaves and flowers of the plant, harvested at full bloom from June to July, when the concentration of active compounds is highest. It is an organic natural extract with a neutral herbal scent and a thin consistency, containing powerful antioxidants and antimicrobial compounds such as polyphenols and organic acids.

Function
Sage oil acts primarily as a powerful antioxidant and soothing ingredient. Thanks to its high concentration of alpha-linolenic acid, it moisturises the skin and restores its natural protective barrier, helping to prevent dryness and flaking. Its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties reduce inflammation and support the regeneration of damaged skin. Its very high concentration of antioxidants effectively slows the visible signs of skin ageing and protects cells from oxidative stress caused by free radicals.

Recommendations
Sage oil is ideal for dry, sensitive, dehydrated, mature and acne-prone skin. We recommend it for people with concerns such as dermatitis, ulcers, rashes or sensitive skin. Thanks to its moisturising properties, it is also useful in hair care, especially for weak, tired hair. It is also suitable for oily, acne-prone skin, where its antimicrobial action can help.

Scientific evidence
Research has shown that sage oil has significant anti-inflammatory properties that can alleviate inflammation associated with arthritis and other inflammatory conditions. The oil's antioxidant effects protect cells from damage caused by free radicals, supporting overall skin health and helping to slow the ageing process. Thanks to its antiseptic and antimicrobial properties, sage oil has proved useful in treating wounds, skin infections and bacteria when applied directly to the affected areas.
