Wildcrafted Essential Oils come from plants gathered from their natural habitats in the wild. These plants are harvested in a sustainable manner without the use of any chemicals. Only certain parts of the plant are used such as the leaves or flowers. When using the roots or whole plant, harvesters typically plant seeds or seedlings to support the plant’s propagation. All Artisan Aromatics Wildcrafted Essential Oils are sustainably harvested in order to avoid depleting wild species. Wildcrafted Oils are also considered to be Organic Essential Oils, since no fertilizers or chemicals were used.
