Rosemary Essential Oil

Rosemary essential oil is steam distilled from the flowering tips of the rosemarinus officinalis herb which often grows by the sea. It is believed to have been used in funeral rites since Roman times.

Very popular in modern day cooking, this wonderful herb also has a place in bath and body applications, such as essential oil scent blends used in handmade soap.
