Cautions -
Both root and seed oil are non-toxic and non-irritant.
The root oil is phototoxic, due to high levels of bergapten.
Not to be used during pregnancy or by diabetics.
Never apply to skin before natural or simulated sunlight
Not recommended for unsupervised home use.
It is very common in large-scale operations to remove the oil from cracked seeds at low temperature with a non-toxic fat solvent such as hexane. When a plant such as jasmine contains very little oil or when the odorous properties of flavor and plant materials would be destroyed or altered by steam or water distillation, solvent extraction is used. The solvent is percolated through the plant material in order to produce concrete. The plants constituents including essential oils, fatty acids and waxes are dissolved by a solvent. After the solvent is distilled off, the remaining constituents make up the concrete. Alcohol is used to extract the essential oil from the other constituents. Since the waxes and fatty acids are not alcohol soluble, they are separated. The alcohol is then released through secondary distillation, leaving the absolute oil behind
Storage and Handling
Absolute Oils should be stored in dark, air-tight, glass bottles. The oils should be kept away from heat. If care is taken with storage, some absolutes can last for up to 5 years.
Both absolute and essential oils should always be handled with care as they can be harmful. If you are not familiar with these oils, be sure to consult with an aromatherapy practioner before using them.
Essential Oil Safety
