Patchouli Essential Oil
Patchouli essential oil is steam distilled from the leaves of the patchouli plant (Pogostemon cablin), a fragrant herb native to Southeast Asia that has been cultivated for centuries in Indonesia, Malaysia, and surrounding regions. Historically, patchouli leaves were used to scent fine textiles and protect fabrics during trade, eventually becoming a prized ingredient in perfumery and traditional botanical preparations throughout Asia and Europe. Today, patchouli essential oil is widely used in several of Silver Botanicals' all-natural products, where it is appreciated for its rich, earthy aroma and skin-protecting characteristics.
