Myrtle, Myrtus communis, is a Mediterranean aromatic plant with a fresh, green and balsamic character. Its essential oil is obtained from the branches by steam distillation and forms part of the E.O.B.B.D. selection from Esential’Arôms, in which the exact botanical species, producing organ and biochemical specificity are identified. In this case, its profile is defined by alpha-pinene and 1,8-cineole, components responsible for its fresh and characteristic aroma. Due to its natural concentration, it must be used with caution and always diluted before cosmetic application.
