Produced in South Africa Natural Origin Vegan Cruelty-Free
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.

β™‘ 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.

Don’t waste your money

The worst vanilla oleoresin I have ever smelled. Barely has notes of clove and cinnamon. NO VANILLA. Complete and utter waste of money! Stock needs to be returned to manufacturer for refund. I would be delighted with a refund as well.
