Ingredients Glossary

Click on any of the ingredients listed on the right hand side of this page to find out a little bit more about them. This is useful if there is an ingredient in one our recipes that you are unfamiliar with.

You will find a description of the benefits of an ingredient and where possible information about where in the world it originates, its history and its past uses. Particularly with Essential Oils we also attempt to describe the scent, we hope you have a good small-imagination.

The fragrance of these tropical blossoms is jasmine-like, sweet, heavy, aphrodisiac and intense, almost cloying. I personally am not keen on it in its pure state (although many of you are) but when blended with peppery, herbaceous oils the result is wonderful to say the least. We use it in our most popular range.
