Champaca 10% dilute in Meadowfoam:

 The Champaca tree is known as one of the most ancient flowering plants, believed to have been pollinated by beetles 90 millions years ago before bees became the prolific pollinators that we know today. The velvety, sultry aroma of Champaca is truly unique and the blossoms of this plant have long been used in traditional religious practices and ceremonies and often times adorn temples and places of worship. Michelia Champaca is native to the Philippines and the Indonesian islands, but now also grows in places far west of its origin - India, southeast China, Réunion, and Madagascar. The CO2 extract of Champaca is free of solvent residue, contains far less waxes, is chemically superior to a distillate, and has a fragrance profile close to that of the fresh flowers. It is an aphrodisiac, emollient, febrifuge. Used to warm, calm, reduce stress, aid breathing and induce euphoria.

CO2 Jasmine is extracted into a thick, hard, waxy consistency.  Our Jasmine Oil is extracted using a carbon dioxide extraction method. This extraction method is fairly new and simply the best way to extract the oils. CO2 becomes supercritical at 33 degrees F, which keeps the flowers un-tarnished from any heat. The CO2 then, almost instantaneously, extracts the oil and does not leave any residue, as the CO2 leaves the oil once the pressure is released.
