Violet Leaf Absolute

What is Violet Leaf Absolute?

Violet Leaf Absolute is extracted from the leaves of the Viola odorata plant, resulting in a dark green oil with a soft, earthy, and slightly floral aroma. This luxurious absolute is prized in perfumery for its unique scent and is used in aromatherapy for its calming, grounding, and mood-enhancing effects.

Why do I have an intolerance?

Some people may experience intolerance to Violet Leaf Absolute due to its high concentration of phytochemicals, which can be potent and potentially irritating for sensitive skin or respiratory systems. The deep, earthy aroma can also be overwhelming for those sensitive to rich, green scents, leading to mild nausea or headaches.

What can I do about it?

To manage intolerance to Violet Leaf Absolute, use it in small amounts and blend it with softer, more neutral oils, such as lavender or bergamot, to balance its scent. Always dilute with a carrier oil before applying to the skin to prevent irritation. Using it in a well-ventilated area and limiting exposure can help make its soothing benefits more accessible without causing discomfort.
