Basil Oil

Basil oil is a pure essential oil steam distilled from the leaves and flowering tops of the basil plant, also known by the botanical name Ocimum basilicum. Basil oil carries a warm, herbal aroma and characteristic spicy flavor profile, used as a flavoring for a wide range of dishes. In addition to seasoning applications, basil oil is sought after throughout the personal care and cosmetic industry for its potential benefits for skincare. It is incorporated in topical product formulations or can be applied directly when diluted for an overall healthy complexion. A main constituent of basil oil, linalool, is a desired component to incorporate in topical pain-relief balms or rubs intended to soothe sore muscles. Basil oil is widely used for aromatherapy for its perceived therapeutic properties and to create a relaxing and soothing environment.
