Vapor-Distilled Oils
Vapor-Distilled Essential Oils: The Purest Essence of Nature
When it comes to essential oils, extraction methods matter. The way an oil is sourced and distilled directly impacts its purity, potency, and aroma. Among the various techniques used, vapor distillation stands out as one of the most natural and effective methods for preserving the full essence of botanicals.
At Savannah Incense, we prioritize authenticity and quality, which is why many of our incense blends feature vapor-distilled essential oils. This ensures that every stick you burn carries the true, undiluted spirit of nature—free from synthetic additives or chemical residues.
What is Vapor Distillation?
Vapor distillation is a gentle, chemical-free process that extracts essential oils using steam and condensation. Here’s how it works:
- Steam is passed through plant material (flowers, leaves, resins, or wood), causing the natural aromatic compounds to release as vapor.
- The vapor then travels through a cooling chamber, where it condenses back into liquid form.
- This results in two layers: pure essential oil and hydrosol (floral water). The oil is carefully separated and collected for use.
This method ensures that the oil remains untouched by harsh solvents or high-heat degradation, making it one of the cleanest, most effective ways to extract essential oils
Why Vapor-Distilled Oils Are Superior
Vapor distillation is favored over other extraction methods for several key reasons:
1. 100% Pure & Chemical-Free
Unlike solvent extraction—which relies on synthetic chemicals to pull oils from plants—vapor distillation is completely natural. This means:
✔ No chemical residues
✔ No artificial additives
✔ No compromised fragrance
2. True-to-Nature Aroma
The careful balance of low heat and steam ensures that delicate aromatic compounds remain intact, preserving the oil’s authentic fragrance. When burned in incense, vapor-distilled oils release scents that are deep, rich, and unaltered, mirroring the plant’s original aroma.
3. High Potency & Therapeutic Value
Because vapor distillation preserves the full spectrum of aromatic compounds, these oils are highly concentrated and powerful. Whether it’s the grounding warmth of sandalwood, the floral brightness of jasmine, or the calming essence of lavender, the therapeutic benefits remain strong.
4. Eco-Friendly & Sustainable
Solvent-based extraction not only compromises quality but can also be harmful to the environment. Vapor distillation, on the other hand, is a natural, sustainable process that respects the integrity of the plants and their ecosystem
