Historical Snippets

Indigenous Australian communities revered the boronia plant for its medicinal properties, using it for various ailments and ceremonies. However, it wasn't until the 19th century that Boronia absolute gained widespread recognition in the Western world. Renowned perfumers and botanists, captivated by its exquisite fragrance, began incorporating it into high-end perfumes and cosmetics. Its popularity surged during the Victorian era, gracing the bouquets of aristocracy and becoming a symbol of refined elegance. Today, Boronia absolute remains a sought-after ingredient, cherished for its unique floral aroma and therapeutic benefits.

PLEASE REMEMBER

All our exotic and rare (hence more costly) essential oils and absolutes are available in jojoba. This allows you the benefit of enjoying Boronia Absolute but in a jojoba oil base at a great price. An extremely cost effective way to experience essential oils and absolutes!

How To Use

Diffuse: Add a few drops to a diffuser to disperse around the room

Topically: Dilute essential oil with any carrier oil at a 2.5% ratio. This equates to 2.5ml essential oil/oils in total mixed with 100ml of chosen carrier oil. 1ml of essential oil is approximately 20-22 drops of oil.  Decant into a roller or glass bottle with eye dropper to apply easily or a larger bottle if using for massage. Please note this dilution rate is for adults and children over the age of 6. More information on children and essential oils is on our blog page. Essential Oils should not be used directly on the skin without mixing first with a carrier oil

Inhalation: Add 1-2 drops essential oil to a tissue and inhale at a distance while ensuring that the oil does not come into direct contact with the skin. Alternatively, you can smell the oil directly from the bottle.

Shelf Life 

Our freshly decanted Absolutes, Resins & Resinoids will last for 3-4 years minimum from when you open your amber glass bottle if stored correctly.

Primary Storage Considerations: Keep away from direct light (U.V. radiation). Keep in the amber glass bottle with lid tightly closed. Only open when you need to and decant into a smaller "working" amber glass bottle if possible (and label so you know what is in it). This is to reduce oxidation.
Secondary Storage Considerations: Keep in a refrigerator at around 4 degrees celsius.
