Clary sage (Salvia sclarea L.) is
native to Southern Europe and is cultivated worldwide, as ornamental, as well
as essential oil bearing plant. Clary sage is well known for its high value
essential oil, widely used in perfumery. Besides, the oil possesses high
biological activity and because of that is used against stress, tension,
depression, insomnia, etc. However, traditionally clary sage oil was used an
agent against gingivitis, stomatitis and aphthae. Apart of that, recent studies
reported analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antidiabetic and cytotoxic
effects. Studies on clary sage seed fatty oil show that it is a good source of
edible oil rich in omega 3-linoleic acid. Clary sage is also used in alcoholic
beverages, as well as in tobacco industry. Novel investigations indicated that
clary sage have great potential in agriculture because of phytoremediation,
allelopathic and insecticidal properties.
Also known as hydrosols, floral
waters are actually a by-product of the steam distillation process used to
capture essential oils. During a normal essential oil distillation process, the
steam containing the oils is cooled to turn it into water, and the essential
oils floating on top are skimmed off and bottled. The remaining water is
considered floral water! Any floral water contains water, water-soluble
components of the plant, and trace amounts of the essential oil. This unique
composition lends each floral water a full spectrum of the essence and
properties of the botanical material from which it was derived. Though they are
most often called floral waters, hydrosols can be produced from any plant
matter like herbs, needles, leaves, woods, barks, and seeds.
Floral waters have many valuable
uses in beauty, skincare, haircare, and household products. At Venkatramna Industries,
we offer wide range of floral waters for a variety of product applications.
They can be sold as pure floral waters to be used as sprays and spritzers, or
they can be strategically blended with other ingredients to create versatile
consumer products.
