Oil Properties of Jasmine essential oil

Jasmine essential oil is really a blend of the Absolute that has a sweet, exotic and richly floral smell.

Origin of Jasmine essential oil

Jasmine is an evergreen, fragile, climbing shrub, that can grow up to 10 meters (33 feet) high and has dark green leaves and small white star-shaped flowers, which are picked at night, when the aroma is most intense.

An experienced picker can pick 10,000-15,000 blossoms per night.

Originally from China and Northern India, it was brought to Spain by the Moors, with France, Italy, Morocco, Egypt, China, Japan and Turkey currently producing the best absolute.

The name Jasmine is derived from the Persian word ‘yasmin’.

The Chinese, Arabians and Indians used it medicinally, as well as for an aphrodisiac and for other ceremonial purposes.

In Turkey, the wood is used for making rope stems and jasmine tea is a Chinese favorite (but Jasminum sambac – Arabian jasmine – is normally used for this) and in Indonesia it is used as a popular garnish.

You do not find a Jasmine essential oil. Jasmine most usually starts it journey as a ‘concrete’, which is made by solvent extraction, after which an ‘absolute’ is obtained from the concrete, by separation with alcohol. You may rarely find jasmine essential oil in a laboratory, but the jasmine plant does not lead itself to extraction by diffusion.

Jasmine essential oil is really a very expensive absolute and will usually be sold as a blend, where a carrier oil is used to dilute the absolute to make the end product more affordable.

1,000 lbs of flowers yield approximately one pound of liquid concrete, which yields 0.2% aromatic molecules.

Chemical composition

some of the main chemical components found in Jasmine essential oil are: Benzyl acetate, Benzyl benzoate,  Phytol, Squalene 2,3-oxide, Isophytol, Phytyl acetate, Linalool

Precautions when using Jasmine essential oil

Jasmine absolute (not Jasmine essential oil is this is extremely rare) is considered to have a moderate risk of causing skin sensitisation. IFRA recommends a maximum dilution rate of 0.7% of the absolute.

Jasmine blend should not be used on children under the age of 2 years (skin sensitivity).

Using too much of absolute could impede concentration, as it has a deeply relaxing effect.
