History: Galbanum has been known since the times of the ancient Roman and Greek civilisations, where it was burnt in incense sticks, mixed in bath water, used in skin balms, and as a perfume. Its fresh, earthy, woody odour is said to calm, cleanse and protect the mind and spirit, offering comfort.
Common uses: Galbanum essential oil is an accessory top note that is invaluable to the perfumer to create a radiant leafy-green effect in perfume and in very small amounts in citrus to add a bright, green, effervescent quality. It has also been used as a fixative to enhance the longevity of perfume.
Safety data: Very potent and not to be used on sensitive skin. Avoid use during pregnancy.

Our essential oils come in amber glass bottles with dripulator caps:
5ml and 20ml with an 18 neck dripulator cap, either white or black, depending on stock availability.
30ml, 50ml, 100ml, 250ml, with a 28 neck white dripulator cap (except for oils that are too thick for a dripulator, which have a black open pour cap).
500g and 1kg options come in an aluminium bottle; 5L comes in a plastic jerrycan.
If you need precise drops for your products we suggest you buy our 5ml or 20ml dropper bottles and transfer the oils or buy our disposable or glass pipettes.
