Cistus / Labdanum (Flowers & Leaves) Oil Distillation Plant
Our Cistus (Labdanum) Oil Distillation Plant is designed for the efficient extraction of high-quality essential oil and resin from Cistus ladanifer (Rock Rose) flowers and leaves using advanced steam distillation and solvent extraction technology. Cistus oil and labdanum resin are widely used in perfumery, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and aromatherapy due to their rich, amber-like aroma and powerful therapeutic properties.
How It Works?
- Raw Material Selection & Preparation: Cistus flowers and leaves are carefully harvested and sorted for quality. The raw material is cleaned and prepared for the extraction process.
- Steam Distillation Process (For Essential Oil Extraction): The prepared Cistus flowers and leaves are loaded into the distillation chamber. Steam is introduced, breaking down the oil-bearing glands and releasing volatile compounds like alpha-pinene, viridiflorol, and labdanum diterpenes. The steam-oil mixture is condensed, allowing the essential oil to separate from the hydrosol.
- Solvent Extraction Process (For Labdanum Resin): Solvent extraction is used to obtain Labdanum resin, a thicker aromatic extract with a warm, ambery scent. The solvent is evaporated, leaving behind a rich, aromatic resin used in perfumery and medicinal applications.
- Filtration & Purification: The extracted Cistus essential oil and Labdanum resin are filtered to remove impurities. Additional refinement ensures high potency and purity.
- Quality Testing & Packaging: The final essential oil and resin are tested for purity, chemical composition, and therapeutic efficacy before being stored in airtight, UV-protected containers.
