## About

Allspice brings that feeling of warmth and comfort, it is perfect for the holidays, and it takes only a little to fill a blend.This oil is steam-distilled from the berries of Pimenta dioica in Jamaica. Its aroma is sweet, with spicy, comforting notes, and it works as a base to middle note. It is a fine alternative to cinnamon, rich in eugenol, and curiously heavier than water. It comes from the Be Kind collection: oils gathered by aromatherapist Lola King for Be Kind Botanicals, the company she ran for close to a decade, sometimes processing the plant material herself.DetailsBotanical name: Pimenta dioicaOrigin: JamaicaMethod: Steam-distilled berriesBlends with: Black Pepper, Black Spruce, Blood Orange, Cinnamon Bark, Clove Bud, Copaiba, Douglas-fir, Ginger, Nutmeg, Patchouli, Scotch Pine, Sweet Orange, Virginia Cedarwood and VetiverShelf life: about 4 yearsHow to useDiffuse it, or use it on skin only at a safe dilution: Tisserand and Young's Essential Oil Safety recommends a maximum of 0.15%.
