Product Overview
Cilantro essential oil is distilled from the leaves of the Coriander herb plant, the seeds of which are widely recognized in the world of spices. Our Cilantro has a wonderfully fresh, pleasantly pungent-green, cut grass-like and somewhat herbaceous aroma with a vegetal-like (celery, carrot) note in the drydown.
While much is known about the aromatherapy usage of Coriander seed essential oil, Cilantro is comparatively new to aromatherapy and research on its attributes, though recent, is quite promising. Not surprisingly, it is known that seed and leaf essential oils of Coriandrum sativum L. show sharp qualitative and quantitative variation in the profile of their constituents.[1] For example, Coriander seed essential oil contains a high concentration of linalool, a monoterpene alcohol, while Cilantro essential oil has a predominant amount of aldehydes[2], including (E)-2-decenal, decenal, octanal, and 2-dodecenal.[3]
