Rosemary ct Cineole Essential Oil, Organic, 10 ml

Essential oil, rosemary ct cineole, organic

Rosemary essential oil in the cineole chemotype is added to cosmetics primarily as a fragrance ingredient with a fresh herbal scent and as an active ingredient in preparations for hair and oily skin. It is obtained by steam distillation from the leaves of Rosmarinus officinalis L. from certified organic cultivation of European origin. In formulations it works wherever a pronounced and clean herbal scent is needed, particularly in shampoos, hair tonics and preparations for skin prone to oiliness.

The designation ct cineole refers to the chemotype. Rosemary is cultivated in several chemotypes with different compositions, and the cineole chemotype has a predominance of 1,8-cineole in its composition, which defines its fresh herbal character of scent.

What it is suitable for

• Fragrance – herbal, fresh and pronounced, clearly perceptible in compositions even at low concentrations.
• Hair and scalp care – according to the manufacturer's data, the oil refreshes the scalp, stimulates circulation and helps regulate sebum production. It is used in shampoos, hair tonics and scalp massage oils, as well as in anti-dandruff and anti-hair loss preparations.
• Oily skin – the manufacturer states that it contributes to a cleaner skin appearance and balanced sebum production. It is therefore suited to facial tonics, cleansing gels and light emulsions for oily skin.
• Cooling sensation – it leaves a fresh, mildly cooling impression on the skin. The manufacturer recommends it for preparations to soothe skin after sun exposure and for products for irritated skin.
• Antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory action – stated by the manufacturer in their documentation. In cosmetics, these properties are used to support a clean skin appearance, not as a replacement for preservation.

Use in formulation

The essential oil is soluble in oils and in alcohol; it does not dissolve in water. In anhydrous preparations (massage oils, balms, butters) it is blended directly into the oil phase. In tonics, sprays and other water-based products it is incorporated through a solubiliser, for example Polysorbate 20 or Polysorbate 80, otherwise it will separate on the surface. In emulsions it is added in the cooling phase after emulsification to avoid loss of volatile fragrance components due to heat.

In shampoos and shower gels, the oil is first mixed into a small amount of surfactant and then added to the rest of the mass. This prevents cloudiness and uneven dispersion.

The oil has food-grade and cosmetic-grade quality, organic certification and is vegan. It is therefore also suitable for certified natural cosmetics.

Suitable for products such as

• shampoos and hair tonics for oily hair and against dandruff,
• scalp massage oils and preparations against hair loss,
• facial tonics, cleansing gels and light creams for oily skin,
• shower gels and solid soaps with a fresh herbal scent,
• cooling gels to soothe skin after sun exposure,
• air fresheners, diffuser blends and candles where a clean herbal scent is valued.

Good to know

The scent is pronounced, so it is dosed carefully and gradually into blends. Volatile components react sensitively to heat; the oil is added to the finished product at a low temperature and the mass is not reheated after addition.

The organically certified oil comes from controlled organic cultivation. For customers who produce certified natural cosmetics, this is an important detail when making their selection.
