Rosemary ct Verbenone Essential Oil (Rosmarinus officinalis ct verbenone/Salvia rosmarinus)
Certified Organic Rosemary essential oil. Verbenone is a rare South African chemotype with exceptionally high verbenone (11.49%) and bornyl acetate (12.79%) content—a testament to ideal harvesting and distillation conditions. This balance allows RMV-114 to combine cleansing power with gentle conditioning, making it a versatile yet luxurious rosemary.
It delights with its balanced aroma—fresh yet warm, balsamic, and gentle on the skin. It supports cellular regeneration, body cleansing, and mental focus, offering a subtle energy of renewal in every drop.
This oil has a more refined, balsamic-woody character, in which the camphor note doesn't dominate but rather blends into the background. The aroma is warm, deep, and elegant – compared to the sharper profile of ct. cineole or ct. camphor.
Rosemary ct. verbenone is one of the most frequently recommended essential oils for scalp care, but for very specific reasons and with certain safety guidelines. Gentle, it supports the regeneration of skin cells and hair follicles. Its high verbenone and bornyl acetate content stimulates microcirculation without irritating the skin.
Our certified organic rosemary verbenone essential oil is obtained by steam distillation from the flowers and leaves of plants grown in South Africa.

Application
Relief – soreness/tenderness
Make a knee gel: mix rosemary ct. verbenon with aloe gel and apply as needed. Proportions (adults): 1–2% = 6–12 drops of oil per 30 ml of gel.
Skin care
Reduce blemishes without alcohol or harsh soaps. Mix rosemary with aloe vera gel and hemp oil; use as a gentle cleanser.
Recommendation: 20 ml aloe gel + 10 ml hemp oil + 6 drops of rosemary (approx. 1%); massage gently, rinse with lukewarm water.
Breathing – obstruction / “stuffy nose”
When you have a big project coming up and you're distracted by runny nose symptoms, prepare an inhaler with rosemary ct. verbenon. Proportions: 8–12 drops per inhaler cartridge; inhale 2–3 times daily in short bursts.
Safety and warnings
If the oil oxidizes, it may cause skin irritation or allergic reactions; store tightly closed, cool, and away from light. Literature indicates that people with epilepsy and pregnant women should avoid rosemary due to its camphor content; it can also be a stimulant oil, so it is best not to use it at night. For children, use a concentration no higher than 1% (approximately 5–6 drops per 1 ounce/30 ml of carrier). However, according to "Essential Oil Safety" by Tisserand and Young (2nd ed.), there is no basis for generally contraindicating any essential oil for people with hypertension.
Differences between rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) essential oils:

| ct. camphor | camphor, borneol, camphene | Analgesic, warming, stimulates circulation | Muscle pain, rheumatism, fatigue | Strong, sharp scent – not for sensitive skin or pregnant women |
| ct. verbenone | verbenone, bornyl acetate, camphor, α-pinene | Regenerating, cell renewal, gentler on the skin | Skin care, liver, lymphatic system | The most gentle and detoxifying chemotype |
| ct. α-pinene (less common) | α-pinene, camphene, limonene | Antiseptic, stimulating | Mixtures for learning and concentration | The freshest, pine-herbal tone |
