About this product
Zdravetz means health in Bulgarian, and in the country's folklore a bridegroom should spend the night before his wedding in a field of it. The pure extract is so thick and waxy it must be warmed before use; this dilution brings the same scent to your blends with far less fuss.
It is our Zdravetz CO2 Total, from the leaves of Geranium macrorrhizum, organically produced in Bulgaria and diluted to 10 percent in organically produced jojoba for ease of use and affordability. This batch is more floral than the greener, more herbal zdravetz we offered years ago: sweet, woody and herbal, with a touch of spice. It contains over 50 percent germacrone, a sesquiterpene, and is an excellent fixative for lighter top notes. It is no relative of the Pelargonium geraniums; for skin care it is suggested for normal skin, often with Geranium, Rose Geranium, Lavender, Myrtle or Rose.

How to use
Zdravetz is rich in plant waxes and can crystallize at room temperature, so warm the bottle in very hot water before blending; once in a carrier oil it stays liquid. It has not had extensive dermatological testing: use it with caution, consider a patch test, keep it off broken skin, and do not use it with children or the elderly and frail. Never take it internally.
A Balkan folk herb, ready to blend.
