Aqua Oleum Aromatherapy Range: Jasmine 5% in Kenya

Product Overview

Aqua Oleum Jasmine 5% is a pre-diluted blend of pure Jasminum grandiflorum absolute (5%) in jojoba carrier oil (95%). It delivers a rich, intoxicating floral aroma and is prized for:

• Emotional balance (eases anxiety, depression, and low mood; enhances confidence).
• Skin rejuvenation (hydrates dry/mature skin, reduces stretch marks/scars).
• Aphrodisiac properties (sensuality enhancer for intimacy).
• Sleep support (promotes deep, restful sleep when diffused).
• Natural perfume fixative (blends with floral/citrus oils for lasting scent).

In Kenya, it’s valued for its luxury appeal in wellness rituals, stress relief in fast-paced urban environments, and as a natural alternative to synthetic fragrances.

Key Advantages:

• Pre-diluted to 5% (safe for most skin types; no further dilution needed).
• Jasmine absolute (solvent-extracted for true floral complexity).
• Jojoba base (non-comedogenic; mimics skin’s natural oils).
