Cumin Pure Essential Oil 10 ml — Steam‑Distilled, Spice‑Warm Clarity

Ancient spice—earthy warmth carried on desert winds.

Steam‑distilled from the dried seeds of Cuminum cyminum, cumin essential oil is intensely spicy, earthy‑warm, and slightly bitter‑nutty. Long used as both a kitchen and apothecary staple, this oil adds depth and grounding to blends—used sparingly due to its strength.

Cumin oil has a long tradition in warming massage blends and is sometimes chosen for its strong antimicrobial and cleansing properties. Its potent spice character means it should always be used in very low dilutions on skin.
