Ginger Lily Essential Oil (Hedychium spicatum)

This Ginger Lily Essential Oil is extracted from the fresh rhizomes (roots) by steam distillation. It has a great, vibrant aroma.

Hedychium is a genus of flowering plants in the ginger family Zingiberaceae, native to lightly wooded habitats in Asia. The genus name Hedychium is derived from two ancient Greek words, hedys meaning “sweet” and chios meaning “snow.” This refers to the fragrant white flower of the type Hedychums. Common names include garland flower, ginger lily, and kahili ginger.

You may run across Ginger Absolute and Ginger CO2 but, technically speaking neither Absolutes nor CO2 extracts are essential oils, although both processes extract most of the same aromatic constituents that make up essential oils. In addition, both methods may extract constituents that are not found in essential oils.

SAFETY: Standard precautions for essential oil usage apply. In addition, use sparingly and always dilute for application to the skin due to methyleugenol content: maximum dermal concentration of 0.02% is recommended by Tisserand & Young (2014) and lower levels (0.0004% for leave-on products) by IFRA.
