Rosemary Oil

Rosmarinus officinalis L.

Essential oil

This oil is derived from the woody shrub which is well-known as a tasty ingredient for cooking. The oil itself is extracted from the fragrant spiky leave, usually by steam distillation. Although often thought of as a Mediterranean herb, it grows well in a wide variety of locations (including Glasgow!)

Rosemary has long had associations with enhancing cognitive function – to quote Ophelia in Shakespeare’s Hamlet: “there’s rosemary, that’s for remembrance”. The ancient Greeks used it similarly to try and improve memory. More up-to-date studies have suggested rosemary can increase feelings of alertness and aid concentration, as well as helping to lower cortisol levels and reducing stress.

This warming oil may also help to reduce inflammation and some have found it effective as a natural insect repellent.

To enjoy the benefits, you can diffuse rosemary oil, add a couple of drops to a bath or add to acarrier oil to enjoy in a massage.

For a daily boost, you can find the scent of rosemary in Och’s bath salts, Halite soap and deodorant.

Goodies with Rosemary Oil

Deodorant Soda Free

A gentle, effective deodorant designed with sensitive skin in mind. Made without bicarbonate of soda (which can irritate some), this formula uses magnesium hydroxide and arrowroot powder to neutralise odour and absorb moisture, without blocking your sweat glands.
We use nourishing babassu oil and candelilla wax, so it glides on smoothly and leaves no sticky residue. Naturally scented with lemongrass, rose geranium, and a touch of rosemary essential oils, it has a clean scent that keeps you feeling fresh all day.
How it works
It doesn’t stop you from sweating, but it stops the odour. By preventing the growth of odour-causing bacteria, it keeps you fresh while allowing your body to do its thing naturally.
Switching from conventional deodorant?
Give your body a week or two to adjust. You might notice a bit more sweating at first, that’s completely normal and settles as your body finds its balance.
Soda-free (no bicarbonate of soda) | Suitable for sensitive skin
Smooth, non-sticky application | Naturally scented with essential oils

It’s naturally scented with Tea Tree, Rosemary, and Rosewood essential oils, which help control underarm odour without blocking your sweat pores. Instead of masking sweat, it prevents bacteria growth, so you stay fresh when sweat appears. If you’re new to natural deodorants, give your body a couple of weeks to adjust and detox — you might notice slightly increased sweating at first, but that’s just a temporary transition.
