Umuthi Holy Basil Pure Essential Oil is a 100% pure essential oil from Ocimum tenuiflorum . It is used in diffuser blends, deodorising blends, outdoor-style aromatic products, and body care formulations where a strong herbal note is wanted. This is a concentrated essential oil, not a ready-to-use body oil, so it should be used sparingly and diluted before topical application. It is also known by several traditional names, which can help distinguish it from culinary sweet basil.
♡ Why we love it: Holy Basil has a bold herbal character that works beautifully in functional aromatic blends. It is especially useful when a formulation needs a fresh, green, deodorising note with a more traditional botanical feel.
