Oregano Essential CO2 Oil
Oregano CO2 Select Extract is produced from the leaves of Origanum vulgare, an aromatic herb that is revered for its many uses in culinary and wellness applications. Aromatically, it possesses a warm, well-rounded herbaceous aroma that finds to smell much more like a fresh herb than its essential oil counterpart.
Oregano CO2 Select Extract is deep reddish-orange and is fluid at room temperature. It offers a longer shelf life than Oregano Essential Oil because the production of the essential oil exposes the oil to a great deal of heat during production. The CO2 extraction process uses virtually no heat and thus allows for a longer shelf life.
The oregano CO2 oil is comprised primarily of phenols: 60-80% of carvacrol and 4-5% thymol. In wellness applications, it helps to support healthy respiratory and digestive systems. It is a wonderful oil for use in cleaning applications. It is also helpful in massage formulations. For emotional wellness applications, it can help combat fatigue and improve mood.
