About Cilantro Essential Oil

Cilantro essential oil is steam-distilled from the fresh leafy tops of Coriandrum sativum, harvested young while the plant's aroma is at its greenest. It is the leaf counterpart to coriander seed oil, and the two smell remarkably different despite sharing a plant.

The scent is vividly green and herbaceous with a citrusy, slightly pungent edge that fans of the fresh herb will recognize immediately. It behaves as a bright top note and gives lift to lime, lemongrass, and other kitchen-garden aromas.

Home blenders use cilantro oil to give diffuser recipes a fresh-market character, to scent natural kitchen cleaning sprays, and, in carefully measured food-grade applications, to echo the herb's flavor in oils and marinades.

How Our Cilantro Oil Distills

Harvest

Fresh cilantro leafy tops are cut while the plant's aroma is at its greenest.

Sorting

Harvested leaf material is sorted and prepared to load evenly for distillation.

Distillation

Steam passes through the leaf, carrying its volatile aroma compounds over into the still.

Lab Testing

Every distilled batch is tested in a lab before it is approved for bottling.

Bottling

The finished oil is bottled and stored away from heat and light until it ships.

Verify This Green Scent

Coriandrum sativum leaf oil has such a distinct green, herbaceous, faintly citrus smell that a diluted or synthetic version is easy to spot side by side with the genuine article, even before you look at paperwork.

Beyond the nose test, the lab report for the batch currently in stock is posted right on this page, so soap houses, candle studios and formulators can match what shipped against documented results before they buy in volume.

Bulk Cilantro Oil for Production

Soap houses, candle studios and perfumers who go through cilantro oil by the batch buy in bulk to keep their formulations consistent and their costs predictable. Sizes from 5 lbs up to 400 lbs are backed by the same lab documentation as the smaller bottles, so a production run can be checked against paperwork the same way a sample order can.

Soap & Cold-Process Studios

Formulate consistent bar batches with a single verified lot instead of switching suppliers mid-run.

Buyer Questions

How fast do orders ship? ▾
Most orders ship within 1 to 2 business days. Bulk sizes of 5 lbs and up sometimes need a little extra handling time before they leave the warehouse. Checkout runs through our secure Shopify store, so payment and order tracking are handled the same way for a single bottle or a full case.
Where does this cilantro oil come from and how is it made? ▾
This oil is steam-distilled from the fresh leafy tops of Coriandrum sativum, the same plant known in the kitchen as cilantro. It is grown and distilled in the United States, and the process is why it smells so different from coriander seed oil made from the same plant.
How can I check this oil's purity? ▾
Each batch that ships from here is tested in a lab, and the results for the current batch are posted in the purity section above, so you can check before you order. Bulk sizes carry that same documentation, not a separate spec sheet.
