Aura Cacia Pure Essential Oil Cardamom Seed Description
- 100% Pure Essential Oil
- Positive Change Project
Known as the “queen of spices”, the cardamom seed has been sharing its rich, warming, spicy aroma for millennia. Cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum) essential oil brings that well-loved aroma to body care blends, perfumes, colognes and air fresheners. It can also be used as a milder alternative to other camphoraceous oils in chest balms or breath diffusions.
Aura Cacia Cardamom Essential Oil is sustainably sourced from Guatemala. The seeds and pods are dried, then steam distilled to obtain the ideal essential oil.
Aura Cacia® was founded over 40 years ago on pure essential oils and true aromatherapy benefits. We partner with suppliers to source high quality botanicals and rigorously test every batch to ensure purity. We then provide premium products with consumer safety at the forefront. And importantly, Aura Cacia is part of a member owned co-op that puts people and planet ahead of profits.
