## About
For some of us, marjoram is the smell of a grandmother's kitchen, and one breath of it brings back a particular kind of calm. This extract holds that memory more vividly than the distilled oil: it smells closer to the fresh herb, vibrant and alive.It is a CO2 select extract of Origanum majorana, made from dried leaves in Germany. CO2 extraction preserves the sensitive sabinene hydrates, and the extract carries a higher ester content, which gives it a softer, more relaxing character than distilled sweet marjoram. It warms the skin where applied, and it is a natural choice for blends made for relaxation.DetailsBotanical name: Origanum majoranaMethod: CO2 select extract of dried leavesExtracted in: GermanyShelf life: about 2 to 3 years after openingHow to useAdd it to massage and bath blends for the evening, since high doses may prove sedating if used during the day; it may also act as a sexual inhibitor.
