Description

100% pure and concentrated essential oil of natural origin in an 11.3 ml (0.34 fl. oz. ) glass bottle ; this product is completely free from: stabilizers, fixatives, pesticides, GMOs and treatments (even of semi-finished products) with gamma rays and has been packaged and sealed as it came, i.e., without having undergone any transformation and/or alteration of any kind and in the most diligent observance of all laboratory precautions. In accordance with EC Regulation 1334/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of the European Union, provided they are highly pure, many essential oils (including Costo essential oil) are declared "food flavourings" and can therefore be taken as supplements.

Attention

Absolutely avoid the " do-it-yourself" internal use of essential oils,as this can be highly dangerous. It is advisable to always proceed with a medical prescription issued exclusively by a competent and qualified professional.
As per the declaration of conformity published in the brochure, this essential oil was obtained exclusively from the processing of natural plant raw materials.
The information leaflet included with the packaging contains all the information relating to the natural preparation, including the analytical bulletin, the declaration of conformity, the botanical description, the possibility of use as a " food flavoring," etc.

Extraction

Costo essential oil is obtained by steam distillation of the plant's roots, previously dried and macerated in hot water. It appears as a dark (sometimes almost viscous) reddish-brown liquid that releases a distinctive "animal" note reminiscent of leather, very tenacious, with a distant woody-musty undertone.

Affinity

Costus essential oil harmonizes well with the essential oils of: Agarwood, Ambrette, Balsam of Peru, Cistus, Ethiopian Frankincense, Opoponax, Patchouli, Rose, Sandalwood, Vetiver, Ylang Ylang as well as with Oakmoss absolute.

Property

Costo essential oil has always been a sought-after yet elusive raw material, representing—even today—a highly rare and precious product; not surprisingly, since ancient times, it has been considered one of the most adulterated raw materials of all.
Non-toxic and—except in exceptional cases—non-irritating, it has pronounced fixative, as well as antitumor, antiseptic, antiviral, stimulant, and tonic properties.

Uses

The very small amount of pure, natural Costo distillate available is traditionally used in perfumery, both as a fixative and as a fragrance component, especially when a warm, persistent note is desired. Its use in the food industry, where it was used as a flavoring for sweets and both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, is no longer common.

Botany

Also known in Hindi as "Kuth", Kos is native to northern India and southwestern China, where it grows at altitudes between 2,500 and 3,000 meters. It is a large, erect perennial plant that can reach two meters in height. It has serrated leaves, numerous dark flowers, and a thick taproot. In the East, it has been used for millennia—in addition to extracting its precious essential oil—both as an incense and as a medicinal remedy for digestive disorders and respiratory conditions.
