Use

jasmine oil is fragrance. It is credited with moisturizing, soothing, skin-conditioning, and healing properties. given these properties, it is indicated for dry and sensitive skins, and also for skin with dermatitis. There is no essential oil of jasmine; rather jasmine oil is a volatile oil obtained from the plant’s flowers through enfleurage, a very time-consuming and costly process. The freshly gathered flowers are sprinkled over oiled glass trays and the flowers are renewed every morning while the plant is in bloom. Finally, the pomade is scraped off the glass, melted at as low a temperature as possible, and then strained. When olive oil is used, the flower petals are placed on coarse cotton cloths previously saturated with the olive oil. The cloths are squeezed under a press, yielding what is termed huile antique au jasmin. The oil of jasmine is later separated from the olive oil. This makes jasmine oil one of the most expensive oils available, and can lead to the use of adulterated versions. Its sweet odor is so delicate and unique that until recently, artificial or synthetic production was believed impossible. Today, synthetic otto of jasmine exists. However, a portion of the natural oil must be added to the synthetic mixture for a satisfactory product. Jasmine oil may cause allergic reactions such as swelling, which can last several days.
