Made in France

Blackcurrant bud essential oil is a rare and precious aromatic extract obtained from the young bud branches of the blackcurrant shrub. Cultivated in France for centuries for its nutritious berries, the plant is equally valued in herbal traditions for the remarkable properties found in its leaves and buds.

Essenciagua distills the buds of organically grown blackcurrant plants harvested in Burgundy, a region renowned for both its vineyards and blackcurrant cultivation. The buds are collected during winter, when their aromatic compounds are most concentrated, and distilled in small stills to preserve the plant’s natural complexity.

This essential oil is considered a true specialty in aromatherapy. Although rarely found in traditional reference books due to its scarcity, it offers a broad range of supportive properties, particularly in the context of inflammation and seasonal discomforts. Its naturally intense aroma is more appreciated in perfumery than for everyday diffusion, making this oil primarily valued for its therapeutic qualities.

Traditionally, blackcurrant bud extracts are associated with support for the joints, comfort during inflammatory conditions, and relief during seasonal sensitivities. When diluted in a carrier oil, it can be applied in massage over joints or areas of tension.

Harvested and distilled with care, this oil reflects Essenciagua’s commitment to artisanal production, organic cultivation, and full traceability from plant to bottle.

The blackcurrant shrub is a bushy plant growing between 1 and 1.5 meters in height. While the berries are widely known for their richness in vitamin C and flavonoids, the leaves and buds are particularly valued in herbal medicine.

The buds are especially rich in aromatic compounds and are traditionally harvested between mid-December and mid-February. This early harvest captures the concentrated vitality of the plant before spring growth begins.

Essenciagua works with local organic producers in Burgundy to source these exceptional raw materials, ensuring high quality, sustainable agriculture, and complete traceability.

Quality

Quality & Artisanal Distillation

Essenciagua essential oils are produced using traditional artisanal distillation methods designed to preserve the full aromatic and therapeutic profile of each plant.

Spring water distillation
The plants are distilled using natural spring water sourced from the volcanic regions of Lozère, ensuring exceptional purity throughout the distillation process.

Stainless steel distillation equipment
Distillation is carried out in stainless steel stills, which avoid chemical treatments and help maintain the integrity of the essential oils.

Artisanal small-batch distillation
Each still is carefully loaded by hand with plant material. Small batches (maximum around 500 kg) allow steam to pass evenly through the plants, ensuring optimal extraction of aromatic compounds.

The distillation takes place at lower temperatures and lower pressure than many industrial processes, helping preserve the delicate molecules that give essential oils their therapeutic properties.

Total traceability
Essenciagua works with organically cultivated plants harvested locally in Mediterranean and mountainous regions. Each batch is fully traceable from plant to bottle.

Protected violet glass bottles
The essential oils are bottled in violet glass, which protects the oil from visible light and helps preserve its potency and freshness over time.

A true “Grand Cru” quality
All Essenciagua essential oils and hydrosols are suitable for food use, made exclusively from 100% organic plants, and are chemotyped and unadulterated. The careful artisanal distillation ensures oils of exceptional purity that retain the plant’s original properties.
