DESCRIPTION

Rue Oil occurs as a yellow to yellow-amber liquid with a characteristic fatty odor. It is the volatile oil obtained by steam distillation from the fresh blossoming plants Ruta graveolens L., Ruta montana L., or Ruta bracteosa L. (Fam. Rutaceae). It is soluble in most fixed oils and in mineral oil, but it is relatively insoluble in glycerin and in propylene glycol.
