Looking to make a homemade hair conditioner that calls for "spirit of rosemary" and I have not heard of this...Is this the same as rosemary oil that you would find in a place like whole foods?
Is Spirit of Rosemary the same as rosemary oil?
When it says "spirit" of anything, it usually is an extract, or reduction, or essence.
I would not use this straight.
It would need to be "cut" with
an oil. It all depends on what
other ingredients you have in your conditioner.
But No, it is not the same as
the oil.

Reply:Its different
Reply:"spirit of" any herb usually means an alcholic extract made by dripping high proof alcohol through the herbs in a strainer. This is a bit different from essential oils in that it extracts different compounds from the herbs.
Reply:wow that's new to me. I have seen spirit of (different types), but not rosemary. I usually use the Essential oil of Rosemary.
unsolicited info:
I also take Rosemary internally, the herbs. So that process might also augment the hair status you're wanting to achieve.
speculation - something with spirits sounds like it has alcohol in it.
