Sweet Basil Essential Oil

Basil essential oil is extracted from the leaves of common basil, otherwise known as Ocimum Canum.

It’s a woody oil that has a touch of spicy sweetness that creates a refreshing and lingering tone.

The basil tree is native to tropical Asia and Africa, although today it is grown all over the world, with more than 70 species to choose from.

Once extracted, basil essential oil is pale yellow to pale green in colour.

It blends extremely well with a variety of carrier oils.
