Sold by weight. Our Rosemary Oil Extract
(ROE) is a food grade product*. ROE is a thick, dark green/brown liquid
extracted from the bark of the rosemary plant. It has a definite
herbal aroma and is 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: A good usage rate is about .05% of total fat weight in
ROE. This will be a tiny amount – about 4 to 8 drops per pound of
finished soap. This is about half to one gram of pure ROE per Kg of
oil in your recipe or product, or approximately 1 tsp. to 1 tbsp. for each 10
Kg. or 22 lb. container. 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 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 it in at the
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 get into 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
Tamra Conley (Shorewood, IL, US) | March 10th, 2014
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!
Stacey Brister (Vancouver, WA, US) | April 30th, 2012
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'.

HOW PRODUCTS ARE DISPENSED...
BOTTLING/PACKAGING:
Essential oils: Are sold only in the quantities/net weights listed on our website. These oils are shipped to us by the distiller or manufacturer in industry-standard metal or plastic containers and that’s how we ship them to you.
Carrier oils and most other liquids are dispensed in individual HDPE plastic pails or containers with some type of handle, each container holds the purchased net weight of liquid.
Soft butters such as Horsetail and Almond are dispensed in plastic HDPE pails w/metal handles; those butters may remain inside the pails indefinitely when properly stored. Hard butters such as Cocoa are dispensed factory-wrapped in plastic and placed inside a box. Castile Gel is dispensed in a self-contained cubitainer with pouring spout.
NOTE: While the packaging methods mentioned above are generalized, we reserve the right to dispense and ship in any available container. If a customer at any time feels more comfortable transferring an essential or carrier oil to glass, this should be done.
Raw materials/ingredients are sold and dispensed by weight. Many customers ask how many ounces are in a pound, there are 16 ounces in one pound. These are not fluid ounces, they are ounces by weight.
HOW TO STORE: EOs, FOs and BUTTERS should be stored in tightly-sealed containers away from direct light and heat. Some EOs and FOs could be highly flammable, keep away from open flames and from varnished or wood surfaces. Keep all liquids and powders you purchase from Camden-Grey tightly capped and away from the reach of children, the elderly or infirm and pets. Refrigerating butters could adversely affect the consistency of a butter, please join our Forum if you need to learn how to handle, work with and store products.
