Description
Patchouli - This steam distilled Patchouli essential oil is obtained by steam distillation of the dried leaves of Pogostemon cablin. Patchouli oil is thick, light yellow or brown liquid, with a strong, musky-earthy and slightly sweet aroma, reminiscent of wet soil. For some, the potent fragrance of this oil is an acquired taste. Patchouli essential oils are used in soaps, perfumes, aromatherapy and other cosmetics.
In skin and hair care, Patchouli Oil is a wonderful staple to keep on hand. It is helpful for most all skin types ranging from dry, cracked skin all the way to helping to regulate oily skin and acne. Unlike most essential oils that oxidize and diminish in therapeutic and aromatic quality over time, Patchouli Essential Oil improves with age like a fine wine.
