Basil essential oil is a natural oil extracted from the leaves and stems of basil by steam distillation. It is often used as a top note in perfumes. It can be beautifully combined with bergamot Reggio, lavender, eucalyptus, or citronella oil, among others.
 In natural cosmetics, basil essential oil is mainly used for its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. It also has astringent properties that help to refine pores and reduce excess sebum. The oil can also help improve circulation andrevitalizee the skin.
In skincare products such as face masks and scrubs, basil essential oil can help reduce blemishes and acne and balance the skin. It can also be used in personal care products such as deodorants and massage oils to soothe and refresh the skin.
Basil oil should be used in very small amounts, however, as it can be irritating in higher concentrations. It should also be avoided using it in the sun as it can cause photosensitivity. It is recommended to always dilute it with a carrier oil before applying it to the skin.
