Sold by weight. Our Rosemary Oil Extract (ROE) is a food grade product*. ROE is a thick, dark green/brown liquid with a definite herbal aroma used for preventing rancidity in products in which vegetable/plant oils have been used. Its color will vary from batch to batch. This product is made up of oil soluble antioxidant compounds and is not soluble in water, has no additives and is made of 100% rosemary oleoresin. The consistency of this product will also vary from batch to batch, sometimes more liquid, sometimes thicker. ROE is an anti-oxidant, it’s not a preservative.
How To Use in Soapmaking: Use half to one gram of pure ROE per Kg of oil in your recipe or product. (1 tsp. to 1 tbsp. for each 10 Kg. or 22 lb. batch). If you dilute ROE in vegetable oil it makes it much easier to handle and to disperse. Should the oil/ROE mixture solidify, place the bottle in a pan of warm water to liquify it.
Diluting ROE in Oil: Dissolve 4 tbsp. of the ROE in half a cup of vegetable oil. Add a quarter to one teaspoon of this dilution per 2 lbs. of oil but users have been successful using half a teaspoon per pound. Warm oil is better for prompt dilution. However, the dilution can also be refrigerated for up to 30 days and will remain at full strength. A 22 lb. batch requires anywhere from 1.5 to 3 tbsp. of dissolved ROE. The antioxidant compounds in ROE are resistant to lye; therefore, you may add the ROE to the soap batch before saponification or at trace. However, ROE is best dispersed if added to the oils at the time they are being prepared and not at trace.
Other Uses: ROE is also used for making lotions, creams and salves. Add in same proportions as used in soapmaking and add to the oil before the emulsification step for lotions. When making salves and balms, add ROE to the melted oils. Clean-Up: You will find ROE may be sticky at times. Wash all implements in warm soap & water. Precautions: Use gloves, as ROE can be a skin irritant for some people. Keep away from eyes; should it fall in the eyes, flush with plenty of clean water and seek medical attention. The MSDS appears on our site in the MSDS section, top right corner of our pages.
Per our supplier: An oleoresin is an extraction of a natural food or flavoring raw material using selected solvents to remove the vital components; the oleoresin will contain the essential oil and other important non-volatile components which enhance the flavor, act as fixative or contain other desirable properties. The solvent is removed and there is no solvent residue left in the product. The ingredients are rosemary in a vegetable oil base. Our ROE is standardized at 1.5-2.5% carnosic acid.
INCI: Rosmarinus officinalis (Rosemary) leaf. Country of origin: U.S. Shelf life: 1.5 yrs. when properly stored.

I’ve tried other ROE from competitors and this one is hands down the purest grade and best price ! I use it in nearly all my anhydrous concoctions

I only ordered a small bottle because this is the first time ordering this product here. I am very pleased! It is the best quality and strength! I have ordered from several other suppliers but this is by far the best ROE so far. It's a very important ingredient and quality makes a huge difference when using it. I highly recommend!

I'm using this ROE in cold process soap. I love it! I can "superfat", and I don't have to worry about the oils going rancid. It couldn't be easier. I really like being able to add it to the soap pot in the beginning, with the oils. Which works great, as it's job is to keep the oils from oxidizing, and we are able to protect against this from the start. It does not leave a scent in the soap. It's economical, effective, and natural!!! What more could we ask for?

I've used it in several recipes as a preservative and it has served me well. The price here is less than many other companies and the quality is excellent. ROE is VERY viscous so it's a good idea to pour it with a light hand. Also, a little goes a long way. This is a staple in my 'lab'.
