Laurel Berry Oil

Botanical Name: Laurus nobilis
Extraction Method: Traditional Water Separation
Plant Part Used: Berries & Seeds
Origin: Mediterranean (Greece & Turkey)

Product Description

Our organically crafted Laurel Berry Oil is a unique and nutrient-rich carrier oil derived from the berries and seeds of the Laurus nobilis shrub, native to the Mediterranean region. Revered for its centuries-old role in natural skincare, this oil is especially valued in the formulation of luxurious artisan soaps and a wide range of rejuvenating cosmetic products.

Unlike Laurel Leaf Essential Oil, which is steam-distilled from the plant’s leaves, our Laurel Berry Oil is extracted using a traditional, time-honored process. Carefully harvested berries are boiled until the pulp and seeds separate, allowing the nutrient-dense oil to naturally rise to the surface. This slow, artisan method preserves the integrity, aroma, and beneficial compounds of the oil—making it a treasured ingredient in both traditional and modern skincare.
