INCI: Vanilla planifolia

Vanilla Oleoresin is a concentrated aromatic extract from Vanilla planifolia with a sweet, warm, rich vanilla scent. It is used mainly in DIY body care, massage blends, and aromatic products where a comforting vanilla profile is wanted. Unlike many aromatic oil ingredients, this oleoresin is described here as water soluble rather than oil soluble, though it can also infuse into selected carriers such as jojoba. This is a raw aromatic ingredient rather than a finished perfume or body product.

♡ Why we love it: We choose to stock Vanilla Oleoresin because it adds an instantly recognisable, comforting warmth to DIY blends without needing a synthetic vanilla fragrance. It is especially lovely in richer body products and more indulgent aroma-led formulations.
