Historical Snippets

The revered white lotus flower has been cherished for its pure beauty and spiritual symbolism since antiquity, with records dating as far back as 1,500 BCE. However, the extraction of white lotus absolute likely began in the 20th century, with modern techniques developed to capture its delicate fragrance in concentrated form. Throughout history, white lotus absolute has been used in perfumery, aromatherapy, and spiritual practices, revered as a symbol of purity, enlightenment, and spiritual growth. Today, it continues to captivate hearts and minds with its timeless elegance and profound significance, offering a fragrant journey into the realms of inner peace and holistic well-being.

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 White Lotus 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.
