Properties

Tobacco absolute is a dark brown, almost black, viscous liquid at room temperature. The substance has a fairly long shelf life. The substance is an absolute, an extract made with certain solvents, in this case ethanol (alcohol). These solvents are removed from the extract as best as possible, but the extract may contain up to 1% ethanol. Tobacco naturally contains the highly toxic substance nicotine, which can also be toxic through skin contact. Nicotine is also in the absolute, but not more than 400 ppm (0.04%), so the extract itself is not classified as toxic. The scent comes from the leaves of the tobacco plant: Nicotiana tabacum L.
