Violet Absolute Oil
Violet absolute is a thick liquid with a dark green hue and a strong, leafy, floral aroma. It is obtained from the leaves of violet odorata plant. The leaves are harvested between May and December. For extracting the oil, fresh leaves are placed in an extractor. Volatile solvents such as hexane are used to extract the oil. The solvent is then evaporated to obtain a dark green paste, which is later diluted with alcohol.
The coastal region south of Grasse in France is one of the major producers of violet absolute. Italy and China are other prominent producers of the oil. Egypt has been producing the oil since the early 20th century. The warm weather, and rich, humid soil conditions in Egypt are ideal for violet growth.
Violet absolute is used in making skincare products due to its antibacterial and antiseptic properties.
