Prima Fleur Essential Oils

Prima Fleur Essential Oil: JASMINE

Jasmine grandiflorum

Jasmine is a deeply fragrant vine or shrub that grows easily in most gardens within its cold hardiness zone. The plant's small, delicate flowers emit a strong, exotic scent that fills the air in spring and summer. Jasmine flowers are used to make perfumes, and jasmine tea is thought to be soothing. Spanish jasmine (Jasminum grandiflorum) and Arabian jasmine (Jasminum sambac) share some of the same characteristics, but are distinctly different plants. Jasminum grandiflorum is sometimes called Jasminum officinale f. affine, or summer jasmine.

Our Jasmine grandiflorum Essential Oil is available as CO2-extracted [Prima Fleur No. 380]  - or solvent-extracted [Prima Fleur No. 188]. Or choose our Jasmine sambac Essential Oil [Prima Fleur No. 245].

In aromatherapy, jasmine oil is recommended to ease physical pain, and is considered a powerful antiseptic, sedative and tonic to ease breathing difficulties, coughing and nervous conditions. Combined with Ylang Ylang, it is said the mixture helps promote a healthy state of mind and body.

Jasmine sambac

Jasminum grandiflorum produces its flowers in clusters at the tips of its arching branches in summer. The white, five-petaled flowers are up to 1-inch wide and may have faint pink tinges on the undersides of the petals and on the buds. Jasminum sambac's flowers start out pure white and fade to pastel pink as the blooming season wears on. The flowers have a waxy appearance and are about the same size as Spanish jasmine blooms. Arabian jasmine flowers appear in clusters of three to 12 from spring through autumn.

Prima Fleur Essential Oil: CANDEIA

Candeia Essential Oil [Prima Fleur No. 368] is from the bark of a Brazilian tree. The bark produces a clear oil containing over 95% alpha-bisabolol, a component that has long been used in medicine to fight inflammation, and is well known for its anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and anti-viral properties.

In cosmetics, a-bisabolol is present in many products due to its soothing properties. For the natural perfumer, the soft floral, fruity, woody aroma with a slow dry-down would be a good bridge or binder note.

Prima Fleur Carrier Oil: FORAHA

Prima Fleur Foraha Oil [No. 401] Calophyllum inophyllum is cold-pressed in Madagascar. It has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory,  and anti-neuralgic properties, having been used in the South Pacific as a traditional remedy for nerve symptoms of leprosy, where the tree is known as Tamanu. The oil is thick and luxurious and absorbs readily into the skin. It is opaque and brownish green with a vegetative, herbal odor.

The botanical name comes from kalos, the Greek word for beautiful, and phullon, which signifies leaf. The oil resulting from this so-named "beautiful leaf" tree was used by women as face cream in Polynesia, but its benefits have been proven as well by contemporary research, according to the book The Healing Trail: Essential Oils of Madagascar. Missionaries to the Fijian Islands in the 1920s discovered that the oil relieved the painful nerve swelling of leprosy. French doctors later confirmed its success as a treatment for cuts, burns, and wounds, all traditional uses in the areas where it is grown. Additional medical research has uncovered potential benefits of compounds in the oil for diseases as serious as cancer and HIV.

To create the oil, fruit is collected after it falls from the trees in December. The nutlike seeds are removed and placed on racks to dry for a month or two, at which point they wrinkle and darken, becoming sticky with oil. At this time they are ready for the cold press extraction. The tree also grows in other parts of Eastern Africa and in India and Southeast Asia.
