Key Features
- CO2 EXTRACT –CO2 extraction is a process using pressurised CO2 gas to extract all botanical materials from a plant, creating a pure, clean, high-quality oil with no residue. CO2 extracts are generally more representative of the original plant material than oils extracted by other means such as steam distillation or solvent extraction, as there is less residue and a purer form of oil results. CO2 extraction is also considered an environmentally sustainable method of oil extraction as it requires low amounts of energy, and the CO2 can be captured and reused over and over again.
- AROMATHERAPY –Marjoram Leaf is a stimulating oil, more so than wild Marjoram. It is said to be beneficial in soothing tension and is valuable as an addition to a carrier oil for massage at the temples or on the chest to relieve symptoms of those winter chills as it can feel clearing. Due to its stimulating nature Marjoram Leaf CO2 extract is also a good choice to use in a pre-workout massage to awaken the body but can be equally as effective when used post workout to soothe tired muscles.
- HOW TO USE – Marjoram Leaf is a ‘Select’ extract, so can be used for diffusion. In a massage blend, simply dilute into a carrier oil or unfragranced base to create your own unique body care blends – we love Grapeseed oil or Sweet Almond oil. It is great added to hair or body care recipes as its herbal, natural aroma can be wonderfully energising.
- QUALITY –100% Pure and natural, premium quality CO2 Marjoram Leaf Extract. Vegan, GMO-free, cruelty-free, and sustainably sourced from Turkey. From opening, this oil will last up to 3 years. Latin name: Origanum majorana.
Marjoram Leaf CO2, a Meditative Botanical Extract.
Marjoram Essential Oil has an herbaceous aroma which has been described as grounding and meditative. It takes around 50kg of raw Marjoram leaves to create just 1kg of this precious oil which is naturally fresh and its leafy woodiness pairs well with Lavender CO2 extract’s floral notes or blend it with Lemon Essential Oil for a fresh, awakening synergy.
What is the difference between a CO2 Select and CO2 Total Extract?
Total extracts – These require higher pressure and low temperatures during extraction, with the resultant extract containing a high proportion of compounds such as fatty acids, waxes, resins, and any plant pigments. The oil is similar in nature to a complete extraction of all the Phyto-botanical materials. They are often semi solid or solid and must be gently warmed to use them like a liquid.
Select extracts – Require low pressure and low temperature with the resultant liquid/extract being made up of only volatile material. This method avoids thermal degradation, avoids oxidation and the result can be used like an Essential Oil. The oil differs from the distilled or solvent extracted version as it can have a very different chemical composition. Select extracts contain between 35% to 95% Essential Oil along with fatty acids and other fatty substances.
Why is our Marjoram Leaf CO2 Extract so unique?
This golden liquid can effectively support relaxation when diffused or used in massage. You can also use it as part of a bathing routine as its fragrance promotes restful feelings – make sure you add a dispersant oil to your bath so the oil is distributed evenly. Marjoram has a woody, herbaceous and slightly camphoraceous aroma that is beautifully close to the fresh Marjoram Leaf itself.
To source the best growers and oil and raw material suppliers, we travel the world and only opt for oils from controlled, sustainable sources that have little or no negative impact on the environment. All of our oils are tested for quality and purity in our on-site laboratory here in Hampshire before we approve them for use in our products.
In addition, none of the Absolute Aromas products are tested on animals, and all are vegan and free from GM materials.
How to use
