This is an artisanal extraction, done by myself using only organic solvents and the Tonka beans are also organically grown. It is Tonka Bean absolute, with high levels of coumarin (90%). Ideal for use as a fixative in perfumery, luxury soaps and candles, deodorant, odor fixer or aromatherapy. It retains all its instant properties, since no heat has been used, nor aggressive solvents that could denature the coumarin or the rest of the components.

Warning: Do not ingest. Coumarin at such high levels is dangerous.

General Safety Information: Even a small amount is very strong and must be diluted before applying or ingesting. Use small amounts of the essential oil if you have never used it before. Pregnant women and those who are breastfeeding should not use essential oil. Do not take any oils internally and do not apply undiluted essential oils, onto the skin without advanced essential oil knowledge or consultation from a qualified aromatherapy practitioner. If you are 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.
