Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) Tincture, Dried Leaves Liquid Extract

Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) Tincture, Dried Leaves Liquid Extract

A single-herb liquid extract of dried leaves of Rosmarinus officinalis, cold-macerated in small batches and offered either as a traditional tincture in organic sugar-cane alcohol or as a vegetable glycerite.

What you get

• One herb, named to species. Nothing in the bottle but Rosmarinus officinalis leaves — the botanical name is printed on the label, so you always know which plant you bought.
• Cold maceration, never heated. The herb steeps at room temperature rather than being boiled or spray-dried, so the volatile and heat-sensitive fractions stay in the liquid.
• Your choice of menstruum. Organic sugar-cane alcohol for a traditional tincture, or a vegetable glycerin extract with no ethanol in it.
• Ethically wild-harvested or sustainably sourced. Wild material is bought from harvesters who work stands on rotation rather than stripping them.
• Nothing else added. No added sugar, no artificial colours, preservatives or fragrances. Non-GMO and gluten-free.
• Made in the USA in an FDA-registered facility.
• Sizes from 2 fl oz to 2 gallons, including multi-packs — the same extract whether you are trying it or restocking.

About the plant

Rosemary is a woody evergreen of Mediterranean coastal scrub, growing on dry limestone within sight of the sea — which is exactly what its old name says, ros marinus, dew of the sea. Its leaves are narrow, dark green above and white-felted beneath, with the edges rolled under to hold water in. Botanists moved it out of its own genus into Salvia in 2017, so both names are in use. The flowers are small, pale blue, and appear on and off through most of the year in a mild climate.
