Umuthi Caraway Pure Essential Oil - 5ML

Umuthi Caraway Pure Essential Oil is a steam-distilled essential oil from the ripe seeds, technically fruits, of Carum carvi . It has a spicy, sweet, slightly sharp aroma and is used in aromatherapy, natural perfumery, and properly diluted body care blends. This is a highly concentrated essential oil and should be used sparingly.

It is not the same as using whole caraway seed in food, as the essential oil is much stronger and intended here for external aromatic use. Why we love it: Caraway brings a distinctive sweet-spiced note that can make a blend feel warmer and more interesting. It is especially useful when you want a recognisable herbal-spice character without relying on the usual citrus or floral notes.
