What is a macerate?
The name macerate comes from the Latin word ‘Macerare’, which literally means ‘to soak’. Maceration is the traditional way to extract essential oils and other active substances from a plant for the skin. For maceration, the plant parts are soaked for a month or longer in high-quality olive oil. The glass jars are sealed and placed in the sun. Gradually, the flowers release the oil-soluble substances into the olive oil. The macerate becomes increasingly red in color. After this period, the oil is strained, and the macerate is ready. The color of St. John's Wort macerate should be deep red for good quality.

This macerate is a solution of 10% St. John's Wort in olive oil.

A natural antioxidant from rosemary CO2 extract has been added to this macerate. This organic CO2 extract comes from the needles of the rosemary plant and is dissolved in sunflower oil. A small percentage of this natural antioxidant is added to the macerate by the farmer. Because fresh flowers, leaves, or roots are used in making a macerate, they are vulnerable to mold and other contaminants. This natural antioxidant benefits the shelf life of the macerate!
