Description
St. John’s wort Vegetable Oil – certified organic -. is a very mild oil macerate made with the flowering tops of St. John’s wort. St. John’s wort oil can be used to repair the skin for minor superficial wounds, abrasions or irritated skin after sun exposure*. It is a traditionally known remedy that supports blood circulation and provides relief from fluid retention.
St. John’s oil is also sometimes incorporated into shampoos and lotions for brittle and breaking hair.
To obtain St. John’s oil, macerate bruised flowers in a neutral oil (sunflower oil, linseed oil, etc.) in a ratio of 25:100 for 6 to 8 weeks. Place the oil with the flowers in the sun regularly to promote maceration. Slowly but surely you get a nice red-colored oil. This process can also be accelerated, if necessary, by heating the florets and oil “au bain marie” for at least one hour.
