It’s that time again, when another Oil of the Month is on its way to your mailbox, but wait… there are 2 oils this month! Yep, this is not a mistake, you are getting two brand new 2.5 ml Essential Oils. These rare and unique oils make a great pair because they are both known as Sage plants in their respective countries and they are both refreshing and purifying oils.

Background

Leleshwa Essential Oil is sometimes referred to as African White Sage or Camphor Bush (even though it contains just 3% camphene). It is native to Kenya and steam distilled from the leaves of the plant. Often compared to Tea Tree, the scent of this oil is herbal, camphoraceous, and a little spicy. The scent profile of this oil makes it a great pair for Spruce, Cedarwood, Clove, Frankincense, Rosemary, or Geranium.

The Lantana plant (Lantana Camara) is a French shrub with beautiful colorful flowers sometimes called Red Sage. Originally from the American tropics, it is now growing in over 50 countries and is well known for its strong smell. The leaves of this plant are steam distilled to make a green herbal balsamic scented Essential Oil. This oil blends well with Eucalyptus, Bergamot, Rosemary, Clove, or Clary Sage.

Leleshwa Essential Oil is incredible for skincare applications. Because it has powerful cleansing properties, it is ideal for clearing acne prone skin as well as reducing dandruff on the scalp. Great for any clarifying uses; including mental clarity. Additionally, we love this oil for keeping bugs at bay because it is a great insect repellant.

Lantana Essential Oil is a rare oil that is treasured in aromatherapy because of its herbal, floral, and citrusy scent. It is known for its ability to soothe the nervous system, reduce feelings of stress, and promote an overall sense of well being. Lantana is a grounding and balancing oil that can provide a sense of calm when you need it most. Another great benefit of Lantana oil is that it can support the respiratory system. Due to its expectorant properties, this oil may promote clearer breathing.
