Molecular Distilled Patchouli Essential Oil
Wild As The Wind Patchouli Essential Oil is a molecular distilled, premium quality aromatherapy oil, suitable for therapeutic purposes. It is superior to many of the other Patchouli Essential Oils available.
Molecular distillation is a reduced pressure procedure that results in a more purified end product. It is a process that removes residues and impurities, at a molecular level, from the volatile compounds of the pure oil.
This Patchouli Aromatherapy Oil is a dark Patchouli Oil from Indonesia. However, the appearance of Molecular Distilled Patchouli Essential Oil is a lot lighter than steam distilled Dark Patchouli Essential Oil.
Where Is Patchouli Essential Oil From?
Molecular Distilled Patchouli Essential Oil is made from leaves obtained from the Pogostemon cablin plant.
Pogostemon cablin is native to the tropics, where it’s found in countries like Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines and Malaysia. It is also found in a couple of regions within the Americas, namely the Caribbean, and South America.
All Wild As The Wind Patchouli Essential Oils, including this oil, originate from Indonesia.

According to the most lauded book on essential oils, Essential Oil Safety (2nd Edition), by Robert Tisserand and Rodney Young, Indonesian Patchouli Essential Oils are of superior quality to Patchouli Essential Oils sourced from other countries.
What’s The Difference Between Dark & Light Patchouli Essential Oil?
Both Patchouli Light Essential Oil and Patchouli Dark Essential Oil are made using the same plant materials and are extracted using the same extraction method. The only difference between the two oils is that Patchouli Light Essential Oil is steam distilled using stainless steel vats and Patchouli Dark Essential Oil is steam distilled using iron vats.
The use of differing stills produces a slightly different product. Nevertheless, there is little difference in the benefits of both forms of essential oil. There is, however, a slight difference in aroma and appearance of these two aromatherapy oils.
Patchouli Dark Essential Oil is the more enduring aromatically of the two oils.
How Does Molecular Distilled Patchouli Essential Oil Differ?
As mentioned earlier, Molecular Distilled Patchouli Essential Oil is originally a dark oil. However, the process of molecular distillation removes the heavier components within the oil, including much of the colour.
Molecular Distilled Patchouli Essential Oil is also a purer oil, free from contaminants.
