Inci: Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil, Jasminum Grandiflorum Flower Extract Jasminum Grandiflorum Flower Extract diluted in Sweet Almond Oil. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION An extract of Jasmine flowers that comes as a mobile, orange-brown liquid with a sweet, floral and intensely exotic fragrance. It is a solvent extraction of the flowers to make the concrete and then ethanolic extraction of the absolute from the concrete. This is then blended with Sweet Almond Oil which makes it easier to use in small amounts Sweet Almond oil is a very stable oil that will protect the delicate essential oil. The flowers are picked by hand at night and an experienced picker can pick 10,000-15,000 blossoms per night. The fragrance is so intense that this dilution is an excellent way of getting the benefits of the essential oil in a less intense fashion. They have to be handled very carefully so as not to bruise the flower. 1,000 lbs of flowers yields approximately one pound of liquid concrete, which yields 0.2% of aromatic molecules. As a dilution, it is not only more affordable, but you are able to use just one or two drops which would be the equivalent of a mere fraction of a single drop of the undiluted oil. According to the Cosmetic Ingredient Database (CosIng), the functions of Jasmine Absolute are: Masking, Perfuming. To view more information, visit the CosIng Database here.
