DESCRIPTION

Juniper Berries Oil occurs as a colorless, faintly green or yellow liquid with a characteristic odor and an aromatic, bitter taste. It is the volatile oil obtained by steam distillation from the dried ripe fruit of the plant Juniperus communis L. var. erecta Pursh (Fam. Cupressaceae). It is soluble in most fixed oils and in mineral oil. It is insoluble in glycerin and in propylene glycol. The oil tends to polymerize during long storage.
