Organic Tarragon Essential Oil

Are you looking for an essential oil with a fine, sophisticated herbal-anise note, rich in estragole, derived from French tarragon, for diluted massage synergies and aromatic cosmetic preparations? The Herbes et Traditions Tarragon EO (Artemisia dracunculus) is distilled from the entire French tarragon plant. With 60-80% estragole (methyl chavicol), it shares a biochemical profile similar to tropical basil but with a finer, more herbal, and milder scent. 10ml. Herbes et Traditions.

Aromatic and cosmetic profile

• Rich in estragole (60-80%): dominant phenylpropanoid ether, responsible for tarragon's distinctive anise-herbal note.
• Fine and sophisticated herbal-anise scent: milder and more refined than tropical basil, with a fresh grassy note characteristic of French culinary tarragon.
• Rare EO for gourmet kitchens: tarragon is one of the fundamental herbs of French cuisine (béarnaise sauce, chicken with tarragon). Its EO is sought after for aromatic preparations.
• 10ml: Herbes et Traditions.

FAQ

What is the difference between tarragon and tropical basil in aromatherapy?
Both are rich in estragole but at different levels (tarragon 60-80%, tropical basil 70-85%). Tarragon has a more herbal and finer scent; tropical basil is more powerful and more anise-like. Both share the same precaution profile.

Can tarragon be used in cooking instead of fresh herbs?
Yes, provided you use a tiny amount (1 drop maximum for an entire dish). The EO is 100 to 200 times more concentrated than the fresh herb. Never exceed 1 drop per preparation.

Is French tarragon different from Russian tarragon?
Yes. French tarragon (Artemisia dracunculus var. sativa) is the most prized aromatic herb, rich in estragole and poorly fertile (propagated by cuttings). Russian tarragon (var. inodora) is more robust but far less aromatic. Tarragon EO is always derived from the French or Mexican variety.
