Extraction

Bucco essential oil is obtained by steam distillation of the dried leaves. It appears as a dark yellow, greenish liquid with a powerful, herbaceous, camphorated scent with a minty undertone.

Property

The extremely rare essential oil of Bucco, relatively non-toxic, has antiseptic, insect-repellent, and insecticidal properties. Excellent for deodorizing a home, its intense aroma is probably the most "herbaceous" you can smell.
It blends well with the essential oils of Cedar, Lavender, Lemon, Marjoram, Mint, and Red Thyme.

Uses

Bucchus essential oil has no known aromatherapeutic properties, but it is used in pharmacies and occasionally in perfumery.
The relevant technical and safety documentation for the product is available upon request.

Botany

Native to the southern tip of Africa, Bucco is a small, strongly aromatic shrub with a scent similar to European blackcurrant. It has two types of leaves: wrinkled and glossy, as well as long stems bearing white, five-petalled flowers. It grows wild throughout South Africa. The plant's dried leaves are exported to Europe and America both as a homeopathic remedy (due to their diuretic and antiseptic properties) and as an infusion.
