INCI: Vanilla planifolia

Umuthi Vanilla Oleoresin is a concentrated aromatic extract from Vanilla planifolia with a sweet, warm and rich vanilla scent. It is used mainly in DIY body care, massage blends and aromatic products where a comforting vanilla profile is wanted. The source describes this oleoresin 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: Vanilla oleoresin adds instantly recognisable warmth to DIY blends without needing a synthetic vanilla fragrance. It is especially lovely in richer body products and indulgent aroma-led formulations.
