Botanical Origin

Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) is an evergreen herb traditionally used in cooking and botanical preparations.

The leaves contain aromatic compounds responsible for its distinctive scent. Rosemary has been used across different cultures for both culinary and aromatic purposes.

This oil is sourced from rosemary plants grown in the foothills of the Himalayas, with seasonal distillation from Philippine-grown rosemary.

Extraction

This oil is obtained through steam distillation of rosemary leaves.

During distillation, heat releases volatile aromatic compounds present in the plant material. These vapors condense after cooling to form essential oil.

Leaf-derived oils such as rosemary typically produce fresh, herbaceous, and camphorous aromatic profiles.

Composition

Rosemary essential oil contains naturally occurring aromatic compounds including:

• 1,8-cineole
• α-pinene
• camphor
• borneol

These compounds contribute to the oil’s fresh, herbal aroma and camphorous character.

Natural variation in composition may occur depending on growing conditions and distillation timing.
