Description
🌍 Origin & Traditional Use
Jasmine is native to South Asia and the Middle East and is extensively cultivated in India (Tamil Nadu, Karnataka), Egypt, and Morocco. For centuries, jasmine flowers have been used in Ayurveda, traditional perfumery, religious rituals, and natural medicine, symbolizing love, purity, and sensuality.
🌸 Plant Description & Raw Material
Jasminum grandiflorum is a climbing shrub bearing fragrant white flowers that bloom primarily at night. Due to the fragile nature of the flowers, steam distillation is unsuitable; instead, solvent extraction is used to preserve the full aromatic profile.
🌀 Extraction Method
Jasmine Essential Oil is produced via solvent extraction to yield Jasmine Concrete, followed by alcohol extraction to obtain attachable Jasmine Absolute. This method captures the complete aromatic complexity of jasmine flowers.
Each batch is GC-MS analyzed to ensure purity, consistency, and export compliance.
