How Is Jasmine Oil Made
Jasmine oil starts out by growing the plant. Its country
of origin is China and Northern India it has since migrated
to most parts of the world. It is a member of the olive family,
which produces a sweet, exotic, richly floral, frequently
 masculine aroma, depending on which jasmine flower is used.
Night bloomers produce a different aroma than the morning
bloomers. The blossoms are carefully picked, as it takes somewhere
between eight thousand and ten thousand blossoms to produce
one gram of oil. Bruised flowers can't be used as it spoils
the oil. The number will depend on the variety of jasmine
flower you are using.
The CO2 Extraction method is a great way to extract most oils however
the cost would place the jasmine oil out of most consumer’s
price range. The key point to getting quality jasmine oil
is to start with the gentle picking of the blossoms. The solvent
extraction method is the method most commonly used to make
jasmine oil. It is process of using a solvent to separate
out the beneficial materials in the blossom. The end result
of this initial extraction is called the “concrete”.
Once you have the concrete an absolute is then made by using
alcohol, again to separate the components yet again. The next
step would be distillation which is a process that converts
the volatile liquid into a vapor and then back into a liquid,
much like the distilleries used by our ancestors, only on
a much larger scale. At this point the jasmine oil is extremely
strong and actually needs to be diluted to be safe to use
on the body. There are over one hundred components in the
end product of jasmine oil. This entire process is also known
as Enfleurage, which is the process of making oils from fresh
flowers.
The way to dilute jasmine oil or any other oil is to use
what is known as a carrier oil. Here you have to be careful
as the oil you chose to mix as a carrier must blend with your
scent. Try by mixing one ounce of the carrier oil to one drop
of jasmine oil. Increase the jasmine oil by one drop till
you get the scent you want. Wait a few minutes between drops
to allow the scents to blend together.
