Alta Natura Alta Natura Mandarin Essential Oil 10ml
Alta Natura Mandarin Essential Oil | 100% pure essential oil | Essential oils are substances of vegetal origin, scented, volatile, soluble in fats, oils and organic solvents. Insoluble in water. | Precisely because of their fat solubility they have been classified as oils, and because of their scent as essences. | Essential oils have various types of biological activity. | For external use, the two main properties are antiseptic and stimulating. | Essential oils are found in all parts of the plant: in the seed, root, wood, leaves, flowers and fruits. | They are produced with particular processes that vary depending on the type of essential oil, but all are based on the volatility and fat solubility of the essences. | There are two groups of essential oils: hot (thyme, pine) and cold (mint, eucalyptus), so called because of the sensation they induce. The oldest process, now rarely used, is enfleurage, which consists of placing the plant (usually flowers) on a layer of fat, which becomes impregnated with odorous substances. | The flowers are replaced as they run out, until obtaining una floral ointment loaded with essential oils, which are extracted using a solvent. | The most commonly used process, however, is the steam current. | This technique consists of bringing the plant into contact with water vapor, which carries the essential oils with it. | After cooling, the vapor condenses in the form of water, above which a layer of essential oil floats. | It is una modern technique that has the advantage of not using organic solvents, traces of which could remain in the oil, affecting its complete naturalness. | NET CONTENT: 10ml| CONSERVATION STATUS: store in a cool, dry place, away from light.
