CILANTRO OIL

Description

The fresh, herbal aroma of Cilantro essential oil makes it useful for cooking.  It is also used in soaps for cleansing purposes. The culinary uses and additional benefits of Cilantro have been documented for centuries. Internal use of Cilantro promotes healthy digestion and supports healthy immune and nervous system functions. Applied topically, Cilantro oil is very soothing and cooling to the skin, and it adds a fresh, herbal aroma to any essential oil blend when diffused. Linalool and trans-2-decenal, the two main components of Cilantro, are known to have surface cleansing properties. Cilantro’s culinary uses are endless, adding a flavorful twist to meats, salads, dips, and guacamole.
