FAQ about oil macerate

How to apply an oil macerate on the skin?

To apply a macerated oil to the skin, simply pour a few drops into the palm, rub your hands together to warm it, then gently massage it onto the desired area until it is fully absorbed.

What are the most popular oil macerates?

The most popular oil macerates include calendula, St. John's wort, and carrot macerates, each offering specific properties for the skin.

What is the difference between an oil macerate and an essential oil?

The primary distinction between a macerated oil and an essential oil lies in their production method. Macerated oil is obtained by steeping plants in a fatty substance, whereas essential oil is extracted through distillation, thereby capturing the aromatic and volatile compounds of the plant.

Can we use an oil macerate on all skin types?

There exists an oil macerate for every skin type, and it is recommended to choose specific macerates based on individual needs to avoid any irritation.

Can we use an oil macerate on the scalp?

Yes, certain oil macerates, such as calendula, soothe irritated scalp, reduce itching, and nourish the roots. It is recommended to apply them through massage before shampooing and leave them on for about fifteen minutes.

What should one choose between a macerated oil and a vegetable oil?

This depends on your needs. A pure vegetable oil is ideal for its specific properties, while an oil macerate offers the combined benefits of the base oil and the macerated plants. For instance, carrot macerate is beneficial for brightening the complexion, while a vegetable oil like jojoba would be perfect for nourishing oily skin.
