About this product
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.

How to use
Diffuse it, or blend it into a gently warming massage oil. For the skin, author Madeleine Kerkhof-Knapp Hayes suggests a dilution of 0.25% to 0.5%, best in St. John's wort macerate or sesame oil. Robert Tisserand advises no known hazards. Store in the dark, refrigerated, and decant half-full bottles into smaller, full ones.
Bring it home for the months when the light thins and the kettle never quite cools.
