About this product
Run your hand along a rosemary hedge after rain and the scent that rises is green and alive, nothing like the sharp oil in most bottles. Rosemary Verbenon is the closest we know to that fresh-picked herb, and our favorite of all our rosemarys.
It is Rosmarinus officinalis var. Verbenon, organically produced and steam-distilled from the flowering tops in Italy. Gentler and less stimulating than the traditional cineole-rich rosemary, this chemotype is the one most often recommended for skincare, including oily skin and scalp. We find it relaxing rather than stimulating, which makes it right for an evening shower or shampoo.
For an evening by the sea, even far from it: put on the sound of the ocean, mix one drop of seaweed essential oil, five or six drops of this rosemary and perhaps a touch of Fennel into a spoonful of carrier oil, add it to your bath, and lean back.
Details
- Botanical name: Rosmarinus officinalis var. Verbenon
- Origin: Italy, organically produced

How to use
Use it diluted, in a shower, shampoo, bath or skincare blend. Warning: verbenon is a mild ketone; there has been no formal testing, but avoid it in pregnancy and with babies and children. Store it in the dark, ideally refrigerated, and decant half-full bottles into smaller full ones.
Bring home the fresh-picked herb, for evenings that ask for calm.
