Setting up a Small-Scale Distillation

Table of Contents


    These are some of the more common herbs / plants that I distil for use in Skyezone products:

    • Achillea millefolium (Yarrow) Anti‑inflammatory, astringent, wound‑healing. Excellent for minor cuts, inflamed skin, and acne‑prone formulations; can be slightly astringent.

    • Plantain (Plantago major) Mucilaginous, antimicrobial, anti‑inflammatory. Superb for soothing irritated or damaged skin; ideal for salves and healing balms.

    • Lemon Verbena Antioxidant, anti‑inflammatory, calming scent. More aromatic than therapeutic topically, but adds a lovely sensory layer.

    • Mulberry Leaf Antioxidant, skin‑brightening, anti‑inflammatory. Leaf and root extracts help with pigmentation and inflammation.

    • Ginkgo Leaf Antioxidant, improves circulation. Often used in anti‑aging formulations; works well in emulsions or serums.

    • Ocimum gratissimum (Perennial Basil) Antibacterial, antifungal, anti‑inflammatory. Strong therapeutic profile; excellent for acne‑prone or inflamed skin.

    • Chamomile Calming, anti‑inflammatory, soothing. Similar temperament to calendula; ideal for sensitive or irritated skin.
