Pure Natural Nutmeg Essential Oil Cosmetic Grade for Body Moisturizing

Nutmeg oil is a volatile essential oil extracted from the seeds of the Myristica fragrans tree, which is the same tree that gives us the nutmeg spice. The oil is typically obtained through a process called steam distillation of the dried, ground seeds.

It’s important to distinguish between two types of oil from this tree:

1. Nutmeg Oil: From the seed itself.
2. Mace Oil: From the reddish aril (lacy covering) that surrounds the seed. While similar, they have slightly different chemical compositions and aromas.

Nutmeg oil is a potent liquid, ranging from colorless to pale yellow, and possesses a warm, spicy, sweet, and musky aroma that is very characteristic of the nutmeg spice but much more concentrated.
