Product Constituents - Clary sage

Salvia Sclarea Linnaeus

Because of its competitive price, you will find a lot of Russian oil used in aromatherapy but the odour is quite crude and constituents are different, as the following table shows:

           
  Clary Sage Oil French        
           
  Principal constituents by % Origin  
    Alps-Maritime Russian S Carolina  
  linalool 29.8 16.9 23.3  
  linalyl acetate 4.3 2.5 4.9  
  alpha-terpineol 2.6 2.3 2.1  
  germacrene D 38.9 57.7 28.6  
  geranyl acetate 4.7 5.3 2.7  
           

We have listed only the most important constituents, but there are many others, which appear in small or trace amounts.

Research has also shown that the essential oil of Clary Sage is subject to a change in constituents if stored over a period in excess of 3-4 years. The linalool content decreases rapidly, and the linalyl acetate content increases dramatically. We therefore recommend that you replace your Clary Sage stock if more than two years old.
