Jasmine Absolute is calming and excellent for all skin types. It is also a good oil to use during childbirth. For convenience and to make it more easily affordable, it has been diluted at a ratio of 5% in Coconut oil, a wonderfully light moisturising oil. This means it can be used directly on the skin as a perfume.
