DESCRIPTION

Clary Oil occurs as a pale yellow to yellow liquid with a herbaceous odor and a winy bouquet. It is the oil obtained by steam distillation from the flowering tops and leaves of the clary sage plant, Salvia sclarea L. (Fam. Labiatae). It is soluble in most fixed oils, and in mineral oil up to 3 volumes, but it becomes opalescent on further dilution. It is insoluble in glycerin and in propylene glycol.
