Why buy Balsam Fir Essential Oil by Hévéa?

Add to basket

100% pure essential oil

The purity of an essential oil is what mainly determines its quality. An oil that is blended with other oils or contains any type of additive will likely result in a lower-quality product. Buying Hévéa Balsam Fir Essential Oil means having the assurance of acquiring a pure, top-quality product, also with organic certification.

Obtained from Abies balsamea needles from Canada

Abies balsamea is the fir variety commonly known as balsam fir. When purchasing an essential oil like this one, make sure it is the correct variety and not another that could result in an essential oil of lower quality or different from what you expected.

With organic certification

Hévéa Balsam Fir Essential Oil is organically certified, ensuring that no pesticides, artificial fertilisers or genetically modified organisms have been used during cultivation. Pure and natural, this essential oil is a small piece of nature within your reach.

Protective packaging for optimal preservation

Keeping essential oil in optimal conditions is essential to preserve all its properties. Light and air are the main causes of deterioration in poorly stored essential oils. Hévéa therefore uses tinted glass bottles that protect against ultraviolet light, along with an airtight seal that keeps air out.

About balsam fir

Balsam fir (Abies balsamea) is a tree native to North America, very common in Canada and in the colder areas of the north-western United States. It is one of the most widely used Christmas trees due to its symmetry and aromatic needles.

Indigenous peoples traditionally used it for ceremonies and rituals, burning its needles as natural incense to purify the environment or attract positive energy.
