What does Basil Essential Oil smell like, and how is it produced?

Fresh, herbaceous, and slightly spicy–sweet with a crisp, green lift. It’s 100% pure oil steam-distilled from the leaves/flowering tops of *Ocimum basilicum*.

Are there different basil chemotypes, and which is gentler for skin?

Yes. Linalool chemotype (ct. linalool) is softer and more skin-friendly; estragole (methyl chavicol) chemotype is sharper and should be used more cautiously and at lower dilutions.

How do I use it safely on skin and in massage?

Always dilute. Face: 0.2–0.5% (1–3 drops per 30 ml carrier). Body: 0.5–2% (3–12 drops per 30 ml). Patch test first, use externally only, and avoid eyes/mucous membranes.

How much should I use in a diffuser, and what does it blend well with?

Diffuser: 2–5 drops per 100 ml water. It pairs beautifully with lemon, lime, grapefruit, rosemary, lavender, eucalyptus, and cedarwood for bright, clarifying blends.

Any precautions or who should be cautious with Basil oil?

Not phototoxic. Avoid use on infants/young children; use extra care during pregnancy or if you have sensitive skin. If using an estragole-rich type, keep dilutions especially low. Discontinue if irritation occurs and ensure good ventilation when diffusing around pets.
