Our premium elemi heart essential oil is produced from the resin of wild-growing trees. The oceanic, tropical climate of this region provides the plants with the ideal conditions for their growth and the development of their natural components, such as elemicin, limonene, alpha- and beta-phellandrene. The fresh resin is harvested twice a year, collected, and processed through fractional distillation to the highest quality standards to create this complex-aromatic aroma oil. Fractional distillation from the resin is a specialised process to preserve the rosy, spicy, and coastal notes reminiscent of the oil.

Finest Origin - Highest Grade
Farm
This essential oil is sourced from a renowned and certified producer based in Valréas in northern Provence, France. The company was founded in 1980 and owns several essential oil plantations and farms all over the world. The origin and quality of the plants are well documented, and the company ensures that the highest standards are maintained and works professionally and passionately to produce excellent essential oils.
The oils are produced from freshly harvested plant materials via steam distillation. The experienced producers use a very gentle distillation method with low water pressure, which allows for the near complete extraction of the plants' valuable phytochemicals. Their products are certified organic according to French EcoCert standards.
Elemi
Elemi (Canarium luzonicum) is an evergreen tropical rainforest tree from the Burseraceae family, the same family to which frankincense and myrrh belong. Elemi is native to the tropical forests of the Philippines and Moluccas. The tree naturally exudes resins when infested by parasites, but this resin production is also triggered by the "tapping technique" used by local farmers, which involves making incisions in the bark as fresh leaves emerge between January and June. From these incisions flows the white resin, which turns brown upon contact with the air, and is subsequently harvested. A mature tree can produce up to five kilograms of elemi per year. The resin is collected, cleaned, and processed by our renowned manufacturer into this aromatic essential oil through gentle steam distillation. Since the 16th century, the tree's resin, essential oil, and tincture have been used in herbal medicine and pharmacy, often listed in pharmacopoeias under wound-healing salves and balm formulations.
Aroma
The intricate aroma with gentle, fresh, rose-like and peppery notes harmonises and aligns the body, mind and soul. Therefore, elemi is an excellent oil for meditation, imparting a deep sense of calm, compassion and peace.
