ESSENTIAL OIL: Patchouli (Organic)

Patchouli organically cultivated essential oil, extracted from the leaves of Pogostemon cablin, is a highly valued ingredient in aromatherapy, natural cosmetics, and perfumery for its diverse properties and captivating aroma.

Historically used in traditional Asian medicine, this 100% pure essential oil boasts a multitude of benefits, including promoting relaxation, balancing emotions, and supporting skin health.

In aromatherapy, the rich, earthy scent of Patchouli is known to help alleviate stress and anxiety while functioning as an effective grounding agent.

The oil's potential to nourish and rejuvenate the skin makes it a sought-after ingredient in natural cosmetics, particularly for mature or problem skin types. It is also recognized for its ability to combat dandruff and support a healthy scalp.

As a natural insect repellent, Patchouli essential oil can be applied to deter pests, while its antifungal properties have been used to address various skin conditions.

In perfumery, the oil's unique fragrance adds a deep, warm, and exotic note to various creations.

Furthermore, Patchouli essential oil acts as an excellent fixative, helping to prolong the longevity of other fragrances in perfumes and scented products
