St. John’s wort is one of the most famous magical plants. The flower is called St. John’s blood, after the martyr John the Baptist. Ancient herbalists believed that this herb, picked on the eve of St. John’s Day (June 23), contains the most valuable substances. Even today, it has remained a symbol of the summer solstice celebrations. Oil macerate is an extract of a plant in oil, into which effective lipophilic substances pass from it. In aromatherapy, macerates are a unique and essential part of massage and regenerative oils, creams, balms and ointments. Thanks to research into various St. John’s wort products, it was found that phototoxic hypericin does not pass into the oil extract during maceration. This solves the mystery of why macerate can be a great ingredient in tanning oils. The active compound of St. John’s wort oil is, for example, HYPERFORIN. Hyperforin does not show phototoxicity like hypericin.
