Practical formulation guide
Usage level: Adding it at 0.5 % in a diluent is recommended.
How to use and incorporate: Add at the end of the process, with the base below 40 °C/104 °F, so volatile notes are not lost. In water-based products (toners, gels, shampoo, body mist) first premix with a solubilizer —polysorbate 20, Oleth-20 or PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil— at a 1:3 to 1:5 ratio and then add to the water.
Formulation tips:
- Declare on the label the fragrance allergens naturally present in the essential oil when required by the regulations of the destination market.
- For aromatic blends, combine top notes (citrus), middle notes (floral, herbal) and base notes (woods, resins) and let the blend mature for 24–48 hours.
- Before scaling up, make a pilot batch and run a stability test (cycles at 4 / 25 / 45 °C/39 / 77 / 113 °F for 4 weeks, checking odor, color, pH, viscosity and separation) in the final packaging.
Compatibility: Soluble in vegetable oils, esters and alcohol; insoluble in water. May change the viscosity of gels and shampoos and attack some plastics (polystyrene): prefer amber glass, PET or lined aluminum.
Storage: The optimal storage temperature for the extract is 4–18 °C/39–64 °F, protected from light; if precipitates form during storage, shake until reconstituted before adding to the formulation.
Precautions: Once the container is opened, handle the product with care to avoid secondary microbial contamination. None in particular for the user. Handling: Add as the last ingredient of the preparation at temperatures below 50 °C/122 °F; dissolving it before use is recommended.
