Puressentiel Organic Exotic Basil Essential Oil is a pure essential oil of Ocimum basilicum, obtained from the aerial parts. Its scent is herbaceous and fresh, with an aniseed note that common kitchen basil does not have. Native to Asia, exotic or tropical basil is grown in Madagascar, in many Asian countries and in Africa. Puressentiel describes it as botanically and biochemically defined, so its plant and its main natural molecules are clearly identified. Puressentiel sells it as a food supplement, to take a few drops at a time on a neutral support. It comes in a 5ml amber glass bottle.

Key Benefits

  • Herbal, fresh scent: an herbaceous aroma with an aniseed note.
  • Food supplement: up to 2 drops on a neutral tablet, 3 times a day.
  • Defined quality: botanically and biochemically defined, with its key molecules on the label.
  • Organic: from organic farming, according to Puressentiel.
  • Easy dosing: 1ml equals about 29 drops, says Puressentiel.

Key Ingredients

Exotic Basil Essential Oil comes from Ocimum basilicum, a plant of the Lamiaceae family, and is obtained from the aerial parts. Its label names its key molecules: methyl chavicol (chemotype).

Puressentiel advises against using Organic Exotic Basil Essential Oil during pregnancy. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
