Question 1

Why is vetiver essential oil viscous and difficult to dispense?

Accepted Answer

Due to its high sesquiterpene content (vetiverol, vetivone, khusimol), vetiver oil is thicker at room temperature than floral or citrus oils. In cool conditions it may be even more viscous; warm the bottle in your palm for a few minutes or place it in lukewarm water at 25-30 °C for easier dispensing.

Question 2

How should vetiver 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, vetiver oil typically keeps for 3-5 years; with maturation the base note becomes fuller. Once opened, use the content within 12 months to preserve the fresher aromatic notes.

Question 3

What dilution is recommended for vetiver oil in skin preparations?

Accepted Answer

In a carrier oil (sweet almond, jojoba), vetiver is typically used at 0.5-2% concentration in skincare, as it is an intense, deep-scented oil. For sensitive skin, a patch test on the inner elbow is recommended. For use on children or during pregnancy, please consult a qualified professional.
