INCI: Origanum vulgare

Umuthi Oregano Pure Essential Oil is a 100% pure oregano essential oil distilled from the leaves and flowers of Origanum vulgare . It has a strong, herbaceous aroma and is a highly concentrated oil suited to aromatherapy-style blending, household cleaning blends, and cosmetic formulation in very small, well-diluted amounts.

♡ Why we love it: This is one of those bold, unmistakable essential oils that brings real depth to a blend. We especially like it for strong herbal profiles, purposeful cleaning blends, and for experienced essential oil users who want a little oil to go a very long way.
