Ozonated oils are plant oils that are either completely saturated with ozone or lightly saturated. The saturation of the oil is done by bubbling ozone through various oils (olive, coconut, grape seed, etc), in an ozone-safe container (glass). When the ozone passes through the oil it is changed. A new gaseous substance is formed normally referred to as terpene gas. Unlike pure ozone, terpene is safe to breathe and terpene has been used for a variety of ailments including asthma, bronchitis, tuberculosis, etc. The process of creating fully ozonated oil continues until instead of terpene gas coming off the oil, you get pure raw ozone (meaning the oil will not hold any more ozone). The texture of the oil changes, often getting solid or waxy (depending on the temperature). This process can take quite awhile (weeks with a normal unit) or less time if you run parallel units. Oils hold quite a bit of ozone, so bringing them to saturation takes some time. The reaction results in a small amount of ozone, but more of a peroxide/ozonide being created and stored in the oil.
