White Sage
Part of our Ingredient Glossary — educational information about raw materials we may use in our products. We don't sell raw ingredients.
White sage has been considered sacred by indigenous peoples of the American Southwest for thousands of years, traditionally burned in purification ceremonies. This silvery-leafed desert plant (Salvia apiana) thrives in the harsh, dry conditions of Southern California and Baja Mexico, developing potent aromatic compounds as protection against the elements.
The essential oil is steam-distilled from the leaves, capturing the plant's distinctive herbaceous scent with hints of camphor and pine. Unlike culinary sage, white sage has a more intense, almost medicinal aroma that many find deeply grounding and clarifying.
In skincare, white sage offers both aromatic and functional benefits. Its natural antimicrobial properties make it useful in formulations for oily or problematic skin, while its astringent qualities help tighten and tone. The real magic, though, is in the scent experience. Many users report feeling more centered and calm when using products containing white sage.
We carry White Sage Incense for traditional space clearing, as well as a White Sage + Palo Santo blend that combines two of the most revered purification plants. The earthy, cleansing aroma transforms an ordinary moment into something more meaningful.
