Solidago canadensis, the Canada goldenrod · steam-distilled from its flowering tops · bottled 100% pure and undiluted
Late-Summer Meadow, Small-Batch
Goldenrod essential oil is steam-distilled from the flowering tops of Solidago canadensis, the golden wildflower that blankets meadows each late summer.

Try Seasonal Recipes →Goldenrod essential oil is a concentrated botanical extract and should never be applied undiluted. Dilute to 0.5% to 2% in a carrier oil before any skin use, and patch test first. Keep away from eyes, children, and pets, and do not take internally. Store in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight.
