This is a dark brown, high viscosity fluid with an amazing anti-oxidant activity, much higher than that of tocopherol. This is slightly different to the ROE which has the same antioxidant properties but is solvent extracted.. A drop goes a long way and the low dosage and the efficacy justifies its price. You can add this extract to all of your carrier oils, oil blends, soaps, serums, lotions and balms to prolong the oxidative shelf-life of the ingredients and the final product, to avoid rancidity and to avoid those dreadful orange spots on your pretty natural soaps.
The antioxidant activity depends on the content of carnosic acid and total di-terpenephenols. This extract contains 25% di-terpenephenols (highest concentration) and 20% carnosic acid.
Dosage: 0.05-0.1% in soaps, emulsions, oil blends, emulsions, balms and crude oils
You may need to heat and shale the bottle before application
