## About
Every apothecary shelf needs a quiet guardian. Time and air turn a good carrier oil rancid and change the brightest citrus and conifer oils; this is the drop that helps them keep.Rosemary Antioxidant CO2 is extracted in Germany from organically produced Rosmarinus officinalis and stabilized in organic sunflower seed oil. It is not an aromatherapy substitute for rosemary essential oil. It was made as an antioxidant-rich additive for short-lived fixed oils and essential oils, to protect them from the oxidation that turns carrier oils rancid and alters delicate oils, especially citrus and conifers. It contains over 13% diterpene phenols, and at 200 ppm it is as effective an antioxidant as alpha-tocopherol at 500 ppm. The producer of most of our CO2 extracts adds it, at low levels, to many of their extracts designed for skincare.DetailsBotanical name: Rosmarinus officinalis, organically producedMethod: CO2 extraction, GermanyCarrier: organic sunflower seed oilContains: over 13% diterpene phenolsShelf life: about 2 to 3 years after openingHow to useThe producer's guidance for antioxidant use is usually 0.02 to 0.05%, in proportion to how much oxidation-sensitive material your blend holds.
