What is Gardenia Oil?

Gardenia Essential Oil, extracted from the Gardenia jasminoides flower, has a captivating history. This essential oil is renowned for its floral fragrance, much like the flower itself. Also, parts of the plant were traditionally used in folk medicine for treating colds, respiratory issues, and wounds, due to its anti-inflammatory properties.

Gardenia jasminoides flourishes in warm, tropical climates, and is grown in regions like China and Japan. While it was traditionally used in these areas to treat health ailments, over time, it has found its way into perfumes as a base note, lending a creamy, floral, and slightly earthy aroma to fragrances.

The oil's beautifying properties make it potentially beneficial for skincare and haircare. It;s gentle effects are why it is often incorporated into natural skincare products, ointments, and creams.
