Umuthi Holy Basil Pure Essential Oil - 10ML

Features

Description

The essential oil is made from holy basil, which is a type of herb. It is said to be an excellent natural deodorizer, helping to reduce body odour. It is also said to help with fevers, insect bites, epilepsy, respiratory problems, digestive and kidney ailments, alertness and chills. The oil can be used topically as an insect repellent when diluted with a carrier oil or in distilled water.

The oil also contains a variety of beneficial constituents, including eugenol (a volatile oil), ursolic acid (a triterpenoid), and rosmarinic acid (a phenylpropanoid).

Umuthi Holy Basil Pure Essential Oil is a 100% pure essential oil from Ocimum tenuiflorum . It is used in diffuser blends, deodorising blends, outdoor-style aromatic products, and body care formulations where a strong herbal note is wanted.

This is a concentrated essential oil, not a ready-to-use body oil, so it should be used sparingly and diluted before topical application. It is also known by several traditional names, which can help distinguish it from culinary sweet basil. Why we love it: Holy Basil has a bold herbal character that works beautifully in functional aromatic blends.

It is especially useful when a formulation needs a fresh, green, deodorising note with a more traditional botanical feel.
