Description
Rosemary Essential Oil is steam-distilled from the leaves of Rosmarinus officinalis, a woody Mediterranean herb. This invigorating oil is valued for its herbaceous, camphoraceous scent, which enhances mental clarity, concentration, and focus. Often applied in hair care, it helps maintain scalp health and supports healthy hair growth. It also blends well with peppermint, eucalyptus, and basil for revitalizing aromatherapy uses. Its stimulating nature makes it a key ingredient in cognitive and personal care blends.
