If we're accepting this definition of "herb":
"a plant or plant part valued for its medicinal, savory, or aromatic qualities"
then:

ke[rose]ne

Yes.  We don't even need the "[or] savory or aromatic" part of the definition.

Google Gemini prattles:
> Rose oil is a luxurious natural extract primarily used in skincare, [etc.]
> It deeply hydrates dry or mature skin, soothes inflammation, and helps
> reduce anxiety and stress.
> ... Packed with antioxidants, rose oil helps rejuvenate the skin,
> improve elasticity, and reduce the appearance of fine lines.
> It is also antibacterial and helps soothe redness or acne-prone skin.

There is a bottle of rose oil lotion within reach atop the very
same desk where I type these words.
