Basil Ocimum basilicum Essential Oil (Linalol & Methyl Chavicol types)
The world market for basil oil is dominated by two main types, the European and Egyptian basil oils.
- The European sweet basil, cultivated and distilled in Europe, the Mediterranean region, and the United States is considered to be of the highest quality, producing the finest odor. Characteristically, the essential oil from this basil contains high concentrations of linalool and methylchavicol (estragole), at a ratio of 2 or 3:1. Other constituents found in low concentrations include: 1,8-cineole, eugenol, alpha-terpeniol, beta-caryophyllene, geraniol, sabinene, alpha-phellandrene, gamma-terpinene, thujone, myrcene, limonene, ocimene, and para-cymene.
- The Egyptian basil oil is very similar to the European but with a higher concentration and ratio of methylchavicol relative to linalool.

Geranium Pelargonium graveolens Essential Oil
Common name: Geranium
Latin name: Pelargonium graveolens L.
Family: Geraniaceae
Other names: Engl.: old fashion rose geranium, sweet scented geranium, lemon-scented geranium, rose geranium, rose-scent geranium. Deu.: Rosengeranie, Zitronen-Geranie. Suom.: palsamipelargoni
A lot of confusion exists today with the species Pelargonium, as to which variety applies to what origin. The classification of these species is made more difficult by the hybridization of garden species that leave us with numerous varieties. For example, Pelargomium graveolen, P. roseum, P. cpitatum, P. odoratissimu, P. fragrans, and P. terebinthinaceum have been stated as the source of Geranium oil.
