Rosemary Oil is a fresh, herbaceous, woody and camphoraceous essential oil steam distilled from the flowering tops and leaves of Salvia rosmarinus (formerly Rosmarinus officinalis). It is one of the most popular essential oils in hair care, aromatherapy, personal care and perfumery, and it is also used in food flavours.
Arizone International supplies Rosemary Oil in several chemotypes for hair care brands, cosmetic manufacturers, aromatherapy companies and flavour houses.
About Rosemary
Rosemary is an evergreen shrub of the mint family native to the Mediterranean. Its name comes from the Latin "ros marinus", meaning "dew of the sea", because it grows well near the coast. It has been associated with memory since ancient Greece, where students wore rosemary garlands while studying. Rosemary oil is produced mainly in Morocco, Tunisia, Spain and France. In India, rosemary is grown on a smaller scale in the Nilgiris and in Himalayan states.
In 2018, botanists moved rosemary into the Salvia genus, making it officially a sage, but the old name is still widely used on labels.

Research Interest
A widely cited 2015 study compared rosemary oil with minoxidil for a type of hair loss and found similar results after six months. Other studies have looked at rosemary aroma and memory. These are limited research findings and do not support medical claims for hair loss treatment.
Safety and Dilution
Rosemary Oil should always be diluted before skin use. Camphor and cineole types should not be used on or near the face of young children, and rosemary is traditionally avoided during pregnancy and by people with epilepsy or high blood pressure. Keep away from eyes and out of reach of children. Not for internal use except as a regulated flavour.
