What is a Steam Distilled Essential Oil?
The plant material, in this case, the needles of the Spruce tree, is placed into a still; steam is then passed through, which causes the oil to vaporize, the mixture of steam and essential oil then passes through a series of cooling tubes in order to condense the mixture back to a liquid form.

This distillate is then traditionally collected in a Florentine flask which further separates the Spruce Hemlock Essential Oil from the water-based hydrosol.

Traditionally, the majority of essential oils are steam distilled.

What is meant by Wild-Certified Organic?
This Essential Oil is distilled from needles that have been foraged from their natural habitat, as opposed to farm grown and then were Certified Organic by a third party organic certification body.
