Description

Our organically crafted Clary Sage Hydrosol is steam distilled from the pastel purple flowers and soft green leaves of the Salvia sclarea plant cultivated in the colorful fields in the mountain regions of France. A wonderful herbal mist, Clary Sage Hydrosol is emotionally calming and gentle with an herbaceous, pleasing and bittersweet aroma.

Clary Sage is also known by the names ‘clear eye’ and ‘eye bright’ because of its traditional use as a treatment for eye health. Clary Sage Hydrosol has a delicate scent that is much more subdued than the essential oil, and the scent can be described as grassy and almost tea-like.
