Absinth Oil

Absinth Oil, also known as Wormwood Essential Oil, is a highly aromatic essential oil extracted through steam distillation from the leaves and flowering tops of the Artemisia absinthium plant. Native to Europe and Asia and known historically for its use in absinthe liqueur, this oil features a sharp, bitter, herbaceous aroma with a green and slightly medicinal edge. Rich in thujone, chamazulene, and other bioactive compounds, Absinth Oil is known for its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and digestive-stimulating properties. While traditionally associated with herbal medicine and ritualistic use, modern applications of Absinth Oil span personal care, pharmaceuticals, and natural pest repellents. Due to its intensity and potential toxicity in high concentrations, it is used in very controlled amounts in fragrance and therapeutic blends. It is valued for its distinctive scent and potent botanical properties, particularly in cosmetics, aromatherapy, and natural cleaning formulations.

Polyglyceryl

Polyglyceryl refers to a family of non-ionic surfactants and emulsifiers made by the polymerization of glycerol units. Depending on the number of glycerol units (e.g., Polyglyceryl-2, -3, -6, -10) and fatty acid esterification (e.g., laurate, oleate, stearate), they offer different emulsifying and solubilizing properties. These compounds are biodegradable, mild, and skin-friendly, making them ideal for use in cosmetics, food, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products. Polyglyceryl esters are often chosen in natural and organic product formulations due to their origin and non-toxic profile.
