Product description

Rosemary is an aromatic herb known from the kitchen. Its origin is in the Mediterranean, where it also received the name dew of the sea. The essential oil is produced by steam distillation from the plant Rosmarinus Officinalis Camphoriferum.

During the production of rosemary essential oil, three types of essential oils can arise depending on climatic conditions or origin, according to which chemotype predominates in it. We therefore distinguish the chemotype ct camphor, ct verbenone, ct cineole.

WHAT ARE ESSENTIAL OILS?

Essential oils, also called ethereal oils, are natural aromatic substances that come from various parts of plants – stems, roots, seeds, flowers, leaves, etc. They give plants their characteristic scent and in addition they also have healing and protective effects. They have a very positive effect on symptoms on the physical, emotional or mental level. 

Their chemical composition is fairly complex. Essential oils are obtained from plants most often by distillation, extraction or pressing. Essential oils are highly concentrated and are applied directly to the skin only after dilution with carrier vegetable oils (almond, apricot kernel, jojoba, etc.). The only exceptions are tea tree and lavender essential oil, which you can apply directly.

Use essential oils for inhalation or in your cosmetic products; the ingestion of any essential oils of any brands is not recommended.

Essential oils are fat-soluble, therefore if you want to use them in products without oils and butters, use a solvent /solubilizer/.

HOW DO I USE AN ESSENTIAL OIL?
