## About
A knife meets a fresh ginger root on the cutting board, and the whole kitchen wakes up. This extract holds that moment: truly the scent of a freshly grated root, closer to a slice of ginger than steam-distilled ginger oil.It is a select CO2 extract of organically produced ginger root, made in Germany. A select extract leaves behind the gingerols and shogaols, the hot, pungent compounds that give fresh ginger its burn, so what remains is gently warming. In makeup it sits close to steam-distilled ginger oil, but it is far more delightful to smell, and unlike the total extract it may be diffused.DetailsBotanical name: Zingiber officinaleMethod: select CO2 extraction of organically produced rootsMade in: GermanyScent: freshly grated ginger rootShelf life: about 2 to 3 years after openingHow to useDiffuse it, or blend it into a gently warming massage oil.
