What is an Absolute?
Certain plant fragrances, such as Rose, are so delicate they need to be extracted using solvents such as hexane.
The plant material is submerged in the solvent which extracts out a solution of essential oils, natural plant waxes and pigments; then under a low heat the extract solution is placed in a distillation vessel to boil off the solvent, thereby creating a “concrete”.
The concrete is then warmed in alcohol to dissolve the essential oils. This mixture is then cooled to cause the nonvolatile & insoluble matter to precipitate out. The alcohol solution is further distilled at a very low temperature until just the ”absolute” is left, giving us the final product.
Industry standards dictate the relative safe use of volatile hydrocarbon of hexane and permissible levels of 10ppm; at these levels, absolutes would have to be used in excess to do any harm.
What is Select Source?
Unique distillations of hard-to-find ingredients that possess superb aromatic profiles from a micro producer where the cost of certification is prohibitive.
