Description of Galbanum Essential Oil

Galbanum essential oil has a fresh, green-peppery, woody, slightly balsamic aroma. The color of the oil is clear to pale-yellow or green, olive-brown. It is steam distilled from the root exudatition of a large perennial.

Why Auroma 100% pure and natural, therapeutic grade Galbanum essential oil from The Aromatherapy Place? Unscrupulous producers often adulterate their essential oils. Over many years of testing, Auroma has developed high standards of testing criteria. Every oil we supply has at least 100 prior tests. On some oils (e.g. Lavender), we have in excess of 1,000 tests. The Auroma advantage lies in our ability to not only perform the tests, but also in having the in-house expertise to correctly analyse and identify adulterants found within essential oils.
