Vanilla oil is a well-known ingredient in perfumes and body care products that induces feelings of relaxation and satisfaction. Its rich, slightly sweet aroma calms anxiety and restlessness, helping you fall asleep more easily - often used during low moods. It blends well with other essential oils, although the vanilla aroma itself will never be too obvious or predictable.

Vanilla oil - properties

The oil is extracted from a beautiful and exotic plant - vanilla planifolia. The process is complicated and time-consuming - vanilla blooms once every 2-3 years, and the flowering period is about 2 months, depending on environmental conditions. The flower only opens for one day and must be hand-pollinated during that time for the fruit (known as beans) to grow. The raw material must then be harvested, dried and extracted using a volatile solvent.

In aromatherapy, vanilla is valued for its stress-relieving and aphrodisiac properties, as well as being a popular perfume note.

Vanilla contains vitamins and minerals that are important for hair health and condition. When used topically, it also has an effect on the skin, keeping it clear, improving skin tone and can eliminate fine lines and minor discoloration.

Origin of the raw material: Vanilla planifolia is a climbing species naturally found in the tropical forests of Central and North America.
