PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
A clear, pale yellow oil with hardly any aroma that is made by warm maceration (at 35°C) of the dried aerial parts of the (non GMO) Mullein plant in High Oleic Sunflower Oil. Vitamin E is added as an antioxidant and that Vitamin E is itself blended with a little Sunflower Oil to make it pourable.
The ratios are 8.3% dry herb to 91.7% liquid by weight, then 0.1% rosemary antioxidant extract added by weight.
- Use 1% to 100%.
- Oil soluble so cannot be used in water only products. It can be used in small amounts in water based gels that will hold it in suspension.
- Heat stable so can be used in Stage 1 (fat stage) when making creams and lotions.

Some people may be sensitive to the Mullein plant so should do a patch test first before using this oil.
