Question 1

Which rosemary chemotype is this oil, and how do the chemotypes differ?

Accepted Answer

This product is Spanish-origin Rosmarinus officinalis, typically a cineole or cineole/camphor chemotype, with a fresh, herbaceous aroma. The verbenone chemotype (typically Corsica) is gentler and cosmetically preferred but considerably more expensive. The cineole type is the classic choice for aromatherapy and general craft use.

Question 2

How should the 10 ml rosemary essential oil be stored and how long does it keep?

Accepted Answer

Store in a cool, dark place below 25 °C, in a tightly closed bottle. Unopened, Rosmarinus officinalis oil typically keeps for 2-3 years. Once opened, it is advisable to use the content within 12 months, as oxygen gradually alters the aromatic profile and may reduce the active compound ratio.

Question 3

Can this rosemary essential oil be applied directly to the skin, or does it need to be diluted?

Accepted Answer

Essential oils are generally diluted in a carrier oil (e.g. sweet almond, jojoba), typically at 1-3% concentration for skin preparations. For sensitive skin, a patch test on the inner elbow is recommended. For use on children, during pregnancy, or by people with high blood pressure, please consult a qualified professional.
