Holy Basil Oil also known as Tulsi (Ocimum sanctum or Ocimum tenuiflorum), is revered in India and across Asia as a sacred plant with deep cultural and aromatic significance. The essential oil is obtained through steam distillation of its leaves and flowering tops, producing a strong, spicy, and slightly sweet fragrance. In bulk supply, Holy Basil Oil is widely used in aromatherapy, perfumery, cosmetics, and household products, making it a versatile ingredient for manufacturers and formulators.

Holy Basil Essential Oil is widely used in aromatherapy, perfumery, and cosmetic formulations for its fresh, spicy, and herbaceous aroma that adds brightness and depth to blends. It can be diffused to create an uplifting atmosphere, incorporated into soaps, shampoos, and lotions for its distinctive fragrance, or blended into candles and incense for ceremonial or household use. Because it is a concentrated oil, precautions are essential: it should always be diluted with a carrier oil before topical application, and a patch test is recommended to check for sensitivity. Direct contact with eyes, mucous membranes, or broken skin must be avoided, and the oil is not intended for ingestion. Proper storage in amber glass bottles away from heat and sunlight helps preserve its quality, and care should be taken when using around children, pets, or during pregnancy.
