化学的特性
Rosemary oil is obtained by steam distillation of the twigs and flowering tops
of Rosmarinus officinalis L. (Lamiaceae). It is an almost colorless to pale yellow
liquid with a characteristic, refreshing, pleasant odor.
d2020 0.892–0.910/0.907–0.920; n20D 1.4640–1.4720/1.4640–1.4700; α20D ?6 ° to
+8 °/?2 ° to +5 °; solubility: 1 vol in max. 3 vol 90% ethanol/1 vol in max. 2 vol
80% ethanol (Spanish/North African oil types).
The major constituents are 1,8-cineole (16–23%/38–55%), ??-pinene
(18–26%/9–14%), and camphor (12.5–22%/5–15%) (Spanish/North African
oils). Verbenone is usually a trace constituent in North African oils
(0–0.4%), but occurs in Spanish oils in quantities between 0.7% and 2.5%.
The main producers of rosemary oil are Tunisia,Morocco, and Spain, with total
~120 t annually. Rosemary oil is used widely in perfumery and in large amounts
for perfuming bath foams, shampoos, and hair tonics.

使用
rosemary oil is credited with anti-septic properties, it is also used for masking odor and providing fragrance. Rosemary oil is considered beneficial for acne, dermatitis, and eczema. Some reports indicate that rosemary oil may stimulate fibroblast growth with a possible increase in epidermal cell turnover. This would make it useful in products for aging and mature skin. Rosemary oil, obtained through distillation of the herb’s flowering tops, is superior to that obtained through distillation of the stems and leaves. The latter process, however, is more common among the commercial oils.
