Latin Name: Jasminum grandiflorum, Jasminum officinale

Description: Jasmine is a climbing vine that can grow up to 30 feet high. It has dark green leaves and star-shaped white flowers. The flowers bloom at night, (hence its Indian name ‘queen of the night’), releasing their intoxicatingly fragrant scent. Harvest lasts through the night into the morning, and it is said that an experienced picker can pick 10-15,000 blossoms a night. The absolute is solvent extracted, and it takes about 1000 pounds of flowers to produce 1 pound of absolute.

Countries of Origin: India, Egypt, China and Morocco

Scent: Jasmine has a warm, deep, rich and exotic floral aroma. It blends well with citrus oils as well as sandalwood, bergamot, clary sage and rose.

Properties: Jasmine has a long history in perfumery due to its rich, seductive aroma. It is used to relax, lift depression, boost confidence and energy and assist with sexual problems. It is emotionally warming and uplifting. Jasmine absolute can also be used to help childbirth as it strengthens contractions while also relieving pain.

Precautions: Jasmine is non-toxic, non-irritating and typically non-sensitizing. It should not be used during pregnancy. The scent can be overwhelming if too much is used, so it is best to dilute in very small amounts. As with any new product, always test a small amount for skin sensitivity or allergic reaction. Do not use any essential oils undiluted on the skin.

Remember, the FDA has not evaluated the above statements. No claims are made regarding any medicinal value of jasmine absolute.

I’ve been so blessed to have two of the most fabulous interns this semester, and am happy to get to introduce you to Jenny. Even though she’s a graduate of the University of Kentucky and a huge Wildcats fan, I’ll still keep her around, ha!

We are excited to have found an intern of Jenny’s caliber and are happy to announce that she’ll continue working with us after her internship ends, so you’ll hear a lot more from her in the future. She’ll work on media outreach, contributing to the blog, and overseeing the Eco Baby Botanicals website that is launching soon. She’s been an incredible asset to the team already and I’m happy to welcome her to the Vintage Body Spa family!

Tell us a little about yourself
Hello everyone! As one of Vintage Body Spa’s newest interns I am thrilled to have the opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Jenny; I graduated from the University of Kentucky in 2010 (go cats!) and I am so excited to be a part of the VBS team. Alyssa has been such a wonderful mentor and working for her has been an absolute blast (corny or not, I am always excited for my next project!)

(I want to emphasize that I did NOT ask her for praise or promise her a raise for being so positive about her job!

What sort of projects are you working on for Vintage Body Spa?
In August I was given the opportunity to design a newsletter template for the company and had so much fun with it. I’d love feedback from anyone who received a copy (positive or negative). I have also contributed to the company’s social networks and soon I will be pitching story ideas to nationally recognized magazines!

It is wonderful to work for such a down-to-earth company that has more to offer than just its products. Vintage Body Spa’s “Behind the Curtain Initiative” was a big contributor to my interest in becoming an intern — it’s nice to know that a portion of every purchase goes toward helping others.

What are some of your hobbies?
As far as my life outside of VBS – I love spending time with my husband and dogs. My idea of a perfect night: on the couch with glass of red wine, dogs on my lap, husband by my side and a great show on T.V. It doesn’t get much better than family time!

I am so excited to continue my work with VBS and cannot wait for what the future holds. Thanks for taking the time to get to know me, and always feel free to ask questions!
