Characteristics Of Herbal Essential Oils
Herbal essential oils are usually extracted by steam distillation from the leaves of the source plant, however they can be extracted from different parts of the plant and by different methods such as solvent extraction.
Steam distillation is commonly used as this method helps preserve the scent and chemical properties of the essential oil. The extraction method forces steam through the plant matter vaporising the volatile chemicals contained within. As the vapour condenses back into water, the volatile chemicals forming the essential oils will separate from the water.
What Do Herbal Essential Oils Smell Like?
Unsurprisingly, most herbal essential oils often have a concentrated odour that smells very close to the plant that it is derived from.
However, it is sometimes the case that the plant is processed differently so it can be used in cooking, rosemary would be a good example of this. There are many variations of rosemary available and they smell quite different to one another. Rosemary is also the most commonly used plant in cooking within the UK.
What Colours Are Herbal Essential Oils?
The colour does depend on the oil, however herbal essential oils are usually pale yellow, amber, brown, light green or even dark green in colour. The most common colour is pale yellow for herbal essential oils.
What Are Common Uses For Herbal Essential Oils?
As herbal essential oils have a fresh scent, this class of essential oils are commonly used in skin care products, soaps and hair care products. Their scent is uplifting, and long lasting.
Alongside skin care products, herbal essential oils are a common choice for aromatherapy products and candles as their strong scent can overpower any lingering smells and create a fresh and clean smelling environment. Herbal essential oils are often used in flavour preparations which are often utilised in savoury canned foods as well as beverages.
What Can Herbal Oils Be Mixed With?
Herbal essential oils are often used as top notes due to their scent profile. However, they do blend well with woody, spicy and earthy based essential oils.
When looking to blend herbal essential oils, you could consider blending these with basil, chamomile, clary sage, eucalyptus, rosemary, sage and tea tree.
Although woody and spicy essential oils are recommended blends, you can also try blends with citrus and floral based essential oils as this could create the perfect custom blend that your business requires.
