About

A fragrant floral water from Salvia melissodora (mint-scented sage) used for its aromatic properties and potential skin-soothing benefits.

Salvia melissodora water is the steam distillate of the flowers and leaves of this Mexican sage species. It shares the Lamiaceae family profile containing essential oil constituents such as sesquiterpenes and monoterpenes. Like other sage-derived waters, it may retain trace fragrance allergens. The EU CosIng database does not list specific restrictions, but caution is warranted for sensitized individuals due to variable essential oil composition.
