Please note: This is an antioxidant, not a broad spectrum preservative. Can be added to anhydrous (oil only) blends and balms for added antioxidant benefits and to help increase the shelf life of oils. Can be added to emulsions (creams) in the cool down phase, in conjunction with, but does not take the place of, a broad spectrum preservative such as Geogard 221.
Rosemary leaf antioxidant is produced from the leaves of the rosemary plant and has potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It is used as a skin conditioning agent and also has anti-bacterial, astringent and toning properties.
Can have a calming effect on skin, though the leaves contain a small amount of essential oil (1-2%) with fragrant components, so if you are allergic to fragrance, it might be better to avoid it or substitute it for Vitamin E.
