Celery Leaf oil
Celery Leaf Oil is an essential oil steam-distilled from the fresh leaves of the Apium graveolens plant. It carries a warm, spicy, herbaceous aroma with green, earthy undertones. Unlike celery seed oil, the leaf-derived oil is lighter and fresher in scent, making it suitable for more delicate aromatic blends. Known for its anti-inflammatory, diuretic, and digestive-supportive properties in traditional wellness practices, Celery Leaf Oil is increasingly used in cosmetics, aromatherapy, fragrance, and natural wellness applications. It’s also gaining popularity in functional perfumery and detoxifying skincare products.
