Cistus Labdanum Absolute
What is Cistus Labdanum Absolute?
Cistus Labdanum Absolute is a resinous extract derived from the leaves and twigs of the Cistus ladanifer plant, native to the Mediterranean region. The absolute is obtained through a solvent extraction process, which is then purified to retain its intense fragrance.
