Herbal Oils

Herbal oils are plant extracts for which the solvent is an oil, either mineral or vegetable. ieS LABO processes herbal oils using vegetable oils.

Herbal oils have been produced since ancient times; one of the oldest and most renowed herbal oil is St John's wort oil, which is mentioned by the Romans. After harvest, the St John's wort is steeped in olive oil straight away. After filtration, this oil was used to sooth the pains of burns.

To process it's herbal oils, ieS generally uses refined sunflower oil, unless otherwise requested. Following our clients' desires, a range of oils can be used : olive oil, grapeseed oil, organic soja oil....

As for vegetable extracts, the concentration of the plant is 10% (in weight) at the beginning of the maceration.

We can also use an organic oil and an organic plant. It is then possible to obtain an organic certification by an independant body such as Ecocert, and to provide a customised organic herbal oil.
