Rosemary Essential Oil
Rosemary Essential Oil
Rosemary Essential Oil (Rosmarinus officinalis, ct Cineole)
Rosemary Essential Oil (Rosmarinus officinalis) is steam distilled from the leaves and flowering tops of the plant, sourced from Spain. This is the ct Cineole chemotype, with a strong, fresh, woody-herbaceous aroma and a high 1,8-cineole content that gives it its familiar clean, invigorating character.
Rosemary is a longstanding favourite in hair and scalp care, commonly included in shampoos, conditioners and scalp treatments, where it's valued for supporting a healthy-looking scalp environment.
In aromatherapy, Rosemary is prized for its clarifying, invigorating aroma, often used to support mental focus and alertness and to create an energising atmosphere.
A little care goes a long way: Rosemary Essential Oil is a mild skin and eye irritant and may cause an allergic skin reaction, so always dilute well before topical use and patch test first. This is the ct Cineole chemotype — its 1,8-cineole content means it should be avoided during pregnancy and by people with epilepsy, and used only with caution, well diluted, around infants and young children.
