Product Health Description

Blackcurrant essential oil, extracted from the resinous buds (gems) of the Ribes nigrum plant, is prized for its potent therapeutic properties. Rich in antioxidants, flavonoids, and natural compounds, it helps reduce inflammation, support respiratory health, and promote skin regeneration. Traditionally used for its soothing effects, it may aid in relieving stress, balancing emotions, and enhancing relaxation. With its antimicrobial and detoxifying qualities, blackcurrant bud essential oil is also beneficial for purifying the skin and strengthening the body’s natural defenses.

Aroma

Blackcurrant essential oil has a rich, fruity, and slightly tart aroma with deep berry-like sweetness. It carries green, earthy undertones that add a natural freshness, reminiscent of crushed blackcurrant leaves. The scent is both invigorating and comforting, with a balance of bright, juicy notes and a subtle musky depth, making it a unique and versatile fragrance in aromatherapy and perfumery.

The term “blackcurrant essential oil” is technically inaccurate. True essential oils are produced through steam distillation or cold pressing. If you come across a product labeled as blackcurrant essential oil, it is likely blackcurrant seed oil. This oil is extracted from the seeds and is valued for its rich fatty acid content in skincare applications, but it is not usable in perfumery.

Blackcurrant buds extract is an absolute. It is obtained through solvent extraction rather than steam distillation, which is necessary to capture the delicate aromatic compounds found in the resinous buds (gems) of Ribes nigrum. This process results in Blackcurrant Bud Absolute, a highly concentrated, aromatic extract used in perfumery and aromatherapy.

It is one of the ingredients with which you can make your personal perfume of the fruits of Paradise.
