Wings Elemi
Botanical Name: Canarium commune Main Constituents: Plant Part: Resin Origin: Philippines Processing Method: Steam Distilled Description / Color / Consistency: A thin, clear, colorless to pale yellow liquid. Aromatic Summary / Note / Strength of Aroma: A middle note with a medium aroma, it can be best described by comparing it to a dill pickle with citrus notes. It is surprisingly fresh and clean, and not as tart as one would expect. Elemi Essential Oil smells fresh, resinous, citrusy, peppery and somewhat spicy. Blends With: Elemi Essential Oil blends well with Clary Sage, Frankincense, Rosemary, Myrrh and Lavender. Product Abstract: Closely related to the trees that give us Frankincense and Myrrh, Elemi exudes an exotic, fragrant resin when its leaves are sprouting. This yellow resin, similar to Frankincense and Muhuhu, has a strong woody scent, which solidifies when it comes into contact with the air. Elemi is known locally as pili, and the gum is exported from the Philippines. It has been used as a substitute for Frankincense, which has been used throughout the civilized world since ancient times. Cautions: Dilute before use; for external use only. May cause skin irritation in some individuals; a skin test is recommended prior to use. Contact with eyes should be avoided. Storage: It is recommended that oils packaged in metal containers (for
safe shipping) be transferred into dark glass containers to maintain freshness
and attain maximum shelf life. |
