Herbology Mace Oil is 100% pure, steam-distilled Myristica fragrans (Mace) oil — extracted from the vibrant red aril that wraps around the nutmeg seed, making it one of the most exotic and aromatically complex botanical oils in the spice world. While nutmeg and mace come from the same plant, mace oil carries a distinctly more refined, subtler version of the warm, sweet-spicy nutmeg character — softer, more floral, and more nuanced — making it a prized ingredient in both traditional perfumery and natural wellness formulations across South Asia, the Middle East, and Europe.
Mace Oil’s primary active compounds — myristicin, elemicin, eugenol, and sabinene — give it its characteristic warming, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties. On skin, it nourishes and soothes, helping to calm irritation and support a healthier, more balanced complexion. On the scalp, its warming and antimicrobial action supports a cleaner, healthier environment for hair growth. In massage blends, its deeply warming, relaxing properties make it a valued addition for muscle relief and stress reduction. Its rich, exotic aroma also makes it a beautiful note in perfumery and aromatherapy blends. Free from chemicals and additives — rare botanical luxury in every drop.
