Sage lavandulifolia essential oil is obtained by steam distillation of the flowering tops of the botanical species Salvia lavandulifolia Vahl. belonging to the Lamiaceae family.

It is an original species of the Mediterranean and is present in much of the Spanish territory, which is why it is known by the name of Spanish lavender. It is probably what the ancient Greeks and Romans used to perfume their bath water, in fact, the word lavender comes from the Latin lavare (to wash).

Salvia lavanduifolia is an evergreen plant that can reach 60 cm in height, very resistant to droughts and low temperatures, it is unisexual and its pollination occurs through insects. Its leaves and flowers are edible and offer a very pleasant aroma. Its flowering occurs during spring and it is a species that adapts to all types of soils, especially those that are drained.
