This set contains 10 bottles of basil essential oil, each holding 10 ml, supplied in unlabelled glass vials. The oil is produced in India by steam distillation from fresh basil leaves and arrives in a kraft cardboard outer box. The set is intended for users who wish to apply their own labelling, prepare handmade cosmetics or build aromatherapy blends in smaller working batches.
What the set of 10 contains
All ten vials hold the same basil essential oil, which makes dosing and batch work straightforward. The 10 ml size is practical when you want to prepare several blends or several recipes in small quantities, without repeatedly opening one larger bottle and exposing the contents to air.
Botanical background
Basil (Ocimum basilicum) belongs to the Lamiaceae family of aromatic herbs. The leaves are distilled while fresh, so the oil retains the herb's characteristic, slightly sweet and spicy profile. The main chemical constituents include linalool, eugenol and methyl eugenol, which are responsible for the recognisable aroma of the oil.
Typical uses
- Aromatherapy diffusion and room scenting
- Massage oils and body care products, diluted into a carrier oil
- Handmade soaps, bath salts and other scented cosmetics
- Building the herbaceous notes of custom perfume compositions
Storage and handling
Keep the oil tightly closed in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and heat. On skin, use only after dilution in a carrier oil; a usual range is 1–3% for adults. During pregnancy, with children or in case of chronic conditions, please consult a qualified practitioner before use. It is worth labelling each unlabelled bottle yourself with the product name, the date of distillation and the intended use, so that the contents remain clearly identifiable later on.
Who the set is for
The set is helpful for those who produce handmade cosmetics, scent blends or aromatherapy products and prefer to work in smaller portions. The uniform format keeps the vials tidy on a workshop shelf, while the unlabelled glass leaves room for your own branding and packaging concept.
