What is Plumeria Absolute Oil?

It is a thick, deeply fragrant oil that is extracted from the flowers of Plumeria alba via solvent extraction (not via steam distillation because the flowers are too delicate). The result is a rich, floral absolute with a complex fragrance. It is one of the more expensive absolutes because of the low yield per flower.

Absolute oils are not suitable for internal use and should always be diluted before applying to the skin.

For Skin Care: Processed in diluted form in luxurious creams, oils, or massage products (note: always dilute because of the concentration). Just a few drops are needed in blends.
