sagebrush oil america

Sagebrush oil America is a volatile essential oil extracted from the leaves and stems of Artemisia tridentata, a plant species belonging to the Asteraceae family. The oil is recognized for its distinctive camphoreous odor, which is powerful and stinging at full concentration. Known under several synonyms such as basin sagebrush oil America and seriphidium tridentatum leaf/stem oil America, this oil is characterized by a specific gravity ranging from 0.928 to 0.94 at 15 °C and a refractive index between 1.4662 and 1.4729 at 20 °C. More detailed chemical and botanical data are accessible through the PubChem database. The oil is sourced through steam distillation of the plant's aerial parts, typical for volatile oils utilized in cosmetic formulation.

Sagebrush oil America naturally occurs in the leaves and stems of Artemisia tridentata, commonly known as big sagebrush. This species is native to North America and plays an ecological role in its native habitats. The oil has applications primarily in cosmetics as a skin conditioning ingredient. It exhibits a camphoreous odor profile that can influence formulation sensory characteristics. Usage guidance is aligned with cosmetic ingredient standards, following safety recommendations such as those outlined by IFRA (Global). The oil is not intended for flavoring purposes. Its solubility in certain alcohol concentrations enables compatibility with diverse formulation bases.

At 15 °C, sagebrush oil America exhibits a specific gravity approximately between 0.928 and 0.94, indicating a density less than water. The refractive index range of 1.4662 to 1.4729 measured at 20 °C reflects its optical density, which is relevant for quality control and purity assessment. Solubility tests reveal that the oil is not soluble in water but dissolves in ethyl alcohol, particularly at volumes between 2 to 2.5 of 70% alcohol or higher. This solubility behavior impacts formulation strategies, especially in cosmetic products where alcohol-based carriers may be used. The oil's potent camphor-like odor is a key sensory property to consider in product design and consumer acceptance.
