Tobacco Essential Oil (Nicotiana tabacum)
Overview
Tobacco may also be referred to as Tobacco absolute, Nicotania tabacum. It is typically processed using steam or hydro distillation, solvent extracted as a method for extracting oil from the leaves.
Summary
Tobacco oil comes from the Nicotiana tabacum plant. It has a earthy scent. It has an antiseptic and sedative effect.
Tobacco Absolute possesses a deep, cigar-like tobacco aroma. It is primarily used within the scope of natural fragrancing and perfumery. It is especially nice to include in formulations for men and formulations that need a more masculine note.

Safety Precautions for Tobacco:
Do not take any oils internally and do not apply undiluted essential oils, absolutes, CO2s or other concentrated essences onto the skin without advanced essential oil knowledge or consultation from a qualified aromatherapy practitioner. If you are pregnant, epileptic, have liver damage, have cancer, or have any other medical problem, use oils only under the proper guidance of a qualified aromatherapy practitioner. Use extreme caution when using oils with children and be sure to first read the recommended dilution ratios for children. Consult a qualified aromatherapy practitioner before using oils with children, the elderly, if you have medical issues or are taking medications. For in-depth information on oil safety issues, read Essential Oil Safety by Robert Tisserand and Rodney Young.
