Rosemary oil
Description
Rosemary oil (CAS 8000-25-7), also known as Rosmarini aetheroleum, is a steam-distilled essential oil derived from Rosmarinus officinalis with established use across food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical manufacturing.
It functions primarily as a natural flavoring agent, fragrance component, and antioxidant stabilizer in finished formulations. In food and beverage production, it is used to flavor meat products, seasonings, and baked goods.
Its FEMA 2992 status supports regulatory compliance in flavored formulations. Personal care manufacturers incorporate it into shampoos, scalp treatments, and skincare products as a fragrance contributor and formulation stabilizer.
In pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications, it is used as a functional excipient in topical preparations. It also serves as a natural antioxidant to extend the shelf life of various oil-based products.
Home care formulators use it as a fragrance active in surface cleaners and air care products targeting natural or botanical positioning. Rosemary oil is supplied as a clear to pale yellow mobile liquid.
It is available in food-grade and cosmetic-grade specifications, with quality standards referenced against Ph. Eur. monographs and ISO specifications depending on the intended application.
Bulk supply is typically offered in drums or intermediate bulk containers suited to industrial procurement volumes. This ensures efficient logistics and handling for large-scale manufacturing requirements.
