First Botany Jasmine Essential Oil #FBjasmine


Today I am going to share with you another Essential Oil.

i was given the opportunity to try this oil which was sent to me by First Botany in exchange for my honest unbiased opinion and review.




I will start out by saying this oil was extremely strong and was not for me unfortunately.  I am allergic to it.  I put 1 drop on my hand and my throat almost immediately started burning.  So I went in to wash it off.  Normal bathroom soap would not take it off so I went to the kitchen and used my platinum Dawn.  I washed my hands 4 times with platinum Dawn before the smell dissipated.

All was not lost though.  I gave it to a friend who uses essential oils a lot and she likes it.  Here is a comment I received from her...

So, I have this little pinecone (real) that I put oils on in
my bathroom.  It seems to hold whatever scent I put
on there for awhile.  I did the tip of a dropper of the First Botany Jasmine
early this morning, and when I walk in the bathroom it is still
very, very powerful even now....about as good as a diffuser.
It definitely retains its scent!
 
I also put some on my wrists, and to me it smells like a pretty
normal jasmine essential oil. 
 
All in all, it seems to be true to its natural scent and anyone
who likes jasmine oil should like this oil.
 
So -- it was a good reminder for me that just because something is good for you -- people with allergies still need to proceed with caution and follow their bodies.
 
This came in a generous 4 oz amber colored bottle with an eye dropper which I really like the companies that use that method for dispensing and as it makes it much easier to portion control.
 
Jasmine oil has been known to be associated with skin care.  Jasmine oil is known to help fade blemishes, scars, stretch marks and skin wounds - which makes me really sad that I am unable to use it.

KING OF OILS: Jasmine essential oil, or technically Jasmine Absolute (Jasminum officinale) is often referred as "King of oils". Historically, Jasmine has been treasured for both its aromatic properties and uses.
 
If you are a user of Jasmine or have no known allergies I would definitely recommend you to give this a try.  If you have prior allergies I would proceed with caution due to the strength of this oil.
