Background
Linaloe Berry Essential Oil is hydro steam distilled from the fruit of the Linaloe tree (aka Bursera linaloe) that grows in Mexico. The plant received its name which translates to “flowery copal” in the 1830’s from a botanist who was referencing how it compared visually to the copal tree. Traditionally, the wood and resin were used for spiritual rituals and medicine. But when the Essential Oil was introduced in the 20th century, it became popular in the perfume industry because the scent is similar to Rosewood oil, but it is not restricted due to its sustainability.
