Rosemary Essential Oil
Rosemary Essential Oil is distilled from the aromatic leaves and flowering tops of the Rosmarinus officinalis plant. Revered since ancient times, rosemary oil is a staple in both aromatherapy and skincare thanks to its invigorating scent and stimulating properties.
Depending on its chemotype (ct.), rosemary oil can vary in composition—most commonly cineole-rich (ct. 1,8-cineole), which is prized for respiratory and cognitive support. Rosemary oil is widely used to promote clarity, focus, and circulation, and it’s a popular ingredient in hair and scalp treatments.
