Linden Blossom CO2 Select Extract Essential Oil

Linden Blossom CO2 Select Extract comes from the small yellow blossoms of Tilia cordata, gathered from certified organic trees and extracted with pressurized carbon dioxide. Our batches have come from Bulgaria and India. A select extract is close to a liquid version of the whole blossom, and this one is water soluble, so it blends easily into water-based carriers.

The chemistry shifts more than most oils. Phenylethyl alcohol is the signature aromatic molecule here, ranging widely across our batches (under 1% in some, over 70% in others), with ethanol typically making up 38-99% and a little benzyl alcohol alongside it. The aroma is warm, sweet, and honeyed, and it is loved for the way it helps calm and center the heart. Like other floral extracts, it is lovely in skincare.

Every batch is independently GC-MS tested, and each report lives on this page.
