Basil Oil

Basil Oil is a highly aromatic essential oil extracted through steam distillation from the leaves of the Ocimum basilicum plant, commonly known as sweet basil. Known for its fresh, herbaceous, and slightly spicy scent, basil oil is widely used in the flavor, fragrance, and wellness industries. Rich in compounds such as linalool, eugenol, and methyl chavicol, basil oil offers both therapeutic and sensory benefits. In aromatherapy, it is valued for its calming and clarifying properties, often used to relieve mental fatigue, stress, and anxiety. Its invigorating scent also makes it a popular choice in perfumes, candles, and personal care products like soaps and body washes. In the flavor industry, basil oil serves as a natural flavoring agent, adding a bright, herbaceous note to sauces, dressings, and beverages. It is also used in pharmaceutical and traditional medicine formulations for its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and digestive properties.
