▎精油簡介
優選產自義大利南部,卡拉布里亞Calabria地區,是蜚聲世界的地中海古老文明的發源地,被喻為義大利的「足尖」。這裡的日照長足,空氣極佳,火山灰鋪積而成的肥沃土壤使喜陽好酸的柑橘屬植物孕育出甜美多汁、品質良好的果實。
佛手柑樹每年從11月下旬到2月中旬結果,卡拉布里亞人在佛手柑果實脆嫩飽滿、果皮芳香四溢的初階進行原料採取,確保所得的佛手柑精油擁有卓而不凡的純淨品質和飽滿優越的植物成分。
▎成分解析
|主要成分
其成分包括乙酸沉香酯,檸檬烯、左旋沉香醇、其他還有檜烯、ß-蒎烯、γ-萜品烯,另外含有微量具光敏性的非揮發性成分,例如:佛手柑內酯(呋喃香豆素)。成分會因產地而有所不同。市面上也有去除呋喃香豆素的佛手柑精油(FCF)。
柑橘屬精油多以活躍的單萜烯成分為主,而不同的是,佛手柑的主要成分乙酸沉香酯和沈香醇,這兩者也是「真正薰衣草」的代表成分,因此佛手柑在放鬆安撫、舒緩焦躁上表現突出。
