Mimosa (Acacia dealbata) Absolute

Although commonly known as mimosa, its genus name is actually Acacia, and is characterised by its bead like yellow flowers. Do not confuse with Mimosa pudica which is a purple plant that contains mimosine, that can be a poisonous alkaloid if dosage is incorrect.

Mimosa is nearly solid at room temperature so this oil has been blended 90:10 with natural vitamin E oil to create a more mobile liquid. Nevertheless you will still need to remove the plastic dropper insert and possibly use a glass rod to encourage it out of the bottle. A high quality Mimosa oil is fairly rare on the market and would command a higher price than last year.
