Dill seed oil, known in Indian homes as sowa or soya oil and in Ayurveda as shatapushpa, is a 100% pure, natural essential oil steam distilled from the dried, ripe seeds of the dill plant. India grows dill seed widely, especially in Rajasthan, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh. RV Organica's oil is produced in India and packed at our facility in Nimbri, Panipat, Haryana.

What is dill seed essential oil and how is it made?

Dill is a feathery annual herb of the carrot family, used both as a fresh herb and as a seed spice. For the oil, the dried seeds are crushed and steam is passed through them. The steam carries the volatile aroma compounds away, and when it cools, the oil separates from the water and is collected. No solvents are used. Dill seed oil is different from dill weed oil, which is distilled from the fresh green herb and smells lighter and more grassy.

Our specification lists d-carvone at 30 to 60 percent and limonene at 20 to 35 percent, with smaller amounts of α-phellandrene and dillapiole. Carvone gives the warm, caraway-like spice, and limonene adds a fresh citrus lift. Dillapiole is typical of Indian dill. The COA for your batch shows its exact composition.

What does dill seed essential oil smell like?

Dill seed smells fresh, warm and spicy, with a sweet, caraway-like herbal note and a light citrus edge. It is warmer and more spicy than dill weed and softer than caraway, and it gives blends a clean, herbal-spicy character.

How do you use dill seed essential oil in massage and body oils?

Always dilute dill seed oil before it touches the skin. It dissolves in alcohol and fixed oils but not in water, so mix it into a carrier oil first. The right ratio depends on how much you are making and where it will be used, and our essential oil dilution calculator works it out for you. Once diluted, it adds a fresh, herbal-spicy fragrance to massage oils, body oils and balms. Do a patch test first.

Can you use dill seed essential oil in soap, perfume and a diffuser?

Yes. In soap and body care bases, add it at the level your formulation recommends, where it gives a fresh, herbal note. In perfumery it works in small amounts as a herbal-spicy accent, and it pairs well with coriander essential oil, lemon, bergamot, spearmint, caraway, lavender and black pepper. In a diffuser, use two or three drops blended with citrus oils for a fresh, kitchen-garden atmosphere. Our spice oils collection has more pairing ideas.

How should you store dill seed essential oil?

Keep the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dark place away from heat, flames and direct sunlight. Limonene oxidises with air, and oxidised oil is more likely to irritate the skin, so close the cap straight after each use and use the oil within its shelf life.
