Not intended for use in food, vape liquids, or other internal use.

Do not use undiluted on the skin: it is a raw material, not a finished product.
Will be shipped as hazardous in transport (ADR), so returns may not be possible.

Use

Essential oil Armoise has a sweet, herbal scent, somewhat reminiscent of sage. The scent isn't extremely strong, but it's also not usually used in large quantities. Therefore, a dilution of, for example, 10% can be useful. It blends well with other herbal fragrances, as well as florals. Typically, between 0,1% and 2% of this substance is used in fragrance compositions. In perfumes, it primarily serves as a heart note and is stable in most products, including soaps.

Store in a cool, dry, and dark place.

Properties

Essential oil Armoise is a colourless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature. It has a fairly long shelf life. The oil is made by steam distillation of armoise aka white wormwood (Artemisia herba-alba Asso), using the entire plant. Like all essential oils, this one is a mixture of various substances. An indication of the composition is as follows:

25% - Camphor, alpha-Thujone
5-10% - Camphene, beta-Thujone
2-5% - 1,8-Cineole, alpha-Pinene, beta-Pinene, Sabinene, Terpinene-4-ol, Terpineol

For all raw materials, but especially the more natural ones, the scent, colour, and other properties can vary within a certain range from batch to batch and over time.
