Vanilla essential oil, cosmetic grade
This cosmetic grade vanilla oil is created by blending natural and/or nature-identical isolates from other essential oils. It offers the same rich, comforting vanilla aroma at a more accessible price point — though it does not have the therapeutic properties of true vanilla absolute.
Its warm, sweet, and creamy scent makes it a favourite for DIY soap, body butters, balms, and perfume blends — especially when you’re after a soft, cosy fragrance without the cost of pure vanilla absolute. Ideal for use where the focus is on aroma rather than therapeutic benefit.
Please note: This oil can accelerate trace in cold process (CP) soap and will discolour the final bar to a deep brown.
