Artisan Plant Experts

Maison Laget relies on the premise that plants are sufficient  in and of themselves  in delivering their full range of benefits. As a consequence we favour simple formulations based exclusively on plants and have banished all additives  derived from petrochemicals. We are one of the rare brands that offer hydrosols  with such a high plant content by volume and no preservatives !

We rely on traditional manufacturing methods at each and every step of our processes , from the drying of plant materials, distillation and blending of the ingredients, to cold-glazing for our perfumes, in order to achieve the highest quality possible.

Our essential oils are E.O.B.B.D. certified (Essential Oils Botanically and Biologically Defined). We always tell you:

1/ The exact botanical species (Latin name),

2/ The plant parts used (leaves, flowers, roots, etc.),

3/ The biochemical specificity known as chemotype (the dominant molecules) which can vary greatly according to the time and place of harvest and is determined in a laboratory by gas chromatography.

The above criteria are essential as they determine the properties of an essential oil and as a consequence the uses you can make of it. On the other hand, we have opted for a traditional slow steam distillation extraction system using a first cold pressed mechanical process in order to guarantee optimal quality . The plant releases  a higher quantity of molecules as compared to ‘standard’ oils,  which is the reason for our oils’ exceptional molecular and aromatic saturation.
