Oregano essential oil, certified organic
Oregano essential oil is steam-distilled from the leaves of Origanum vulgare. It has a warm, spicy, herbaceous aroma with camphorous notes. This is a very potent oil and is used sparingly, highly diluted, to add a robust herbal accent in diffuser blends, room sprays, and scented cleaning recipes.
Common uses
Aromatherapy: Used to create a warm, invigorating atmosphere. Best as a small accent in blends.
Air freshening: Suits diffusers and room sprays for a crisp, herbaceous scent.
Scented cleaning blends: Adds a strong botanical note to DIY fragrance-only surface sprays.
Crafts and potpourri: Suitable for candles, wax melts, and potpourri at low percentages.
How to use
Diffuser: Start with 1–2 drops per 100 ml water. Increase only if needed and ventilate well.
Topical dilution: Leave-on skincare 0.1–1%. Wash-off products 1–3%. Always dilute in a suitable carrier. Avoid the face, lips, broken or sensitive skin.
Room spray: Combine with a suitable solubiliser before adding water. Shake before use.
