Elemi Oil is a natural aromatic oil obtained by steam distillation from the resin of Canarium luzonicum (elemi), used as a fragrance ingredient and sensory modifier in cosmetic formulations.
This is a pure 100% essential oil, non‑adulterated (no synthetic dilution or extension). It delivers the recognizable character of the source with clean diffusion suitable for fine cosmetic work.
Typical aroma profile: fresh lemon‑pepper, incense‑like balsamic, slightly piney; top‑to‑middle note.
Product Description: A 100% pure, non‑adulterated essential oil for cosmetic use. In leave‑on systems (creams, lotions, balms, serums), low dosages add fresh brightness and light resinous body; higher dosages increase citrus‑pine diffusion. In rinse‑off systems (shampoo, body wash), higher ranges are typically required to overcome surfactant headspace. For bar soap, adjust dosage to balance scent strength and process behavior. Blends well with citrus, woods, frankincense‑type, and conifer notes.
Usage: Suitable for creams, lotions, serums, balms, facial/body oils, shampoos, conditioners, body wash, and soaps.
Mixing method:
- Pre‑dilute in a suitable carrier (e.g., caprylic/capric triglyceride or natural esters) for precise dosing.
- In emulsions, add during cool‑down to minimize aroma loss (typically below 40°C).
- For surfactant systems or other aqueous bases, pre‑solubilize with Flora Solve Clear before adding to the base.
Usage rate: Leave‑on: 0.1–1% ; Rinse‑off/Soap: 0.3–3%
Product characteristics: clear to pale yellow liquid; fresh lemon‑pepper, balsamic‑incense aroma
Solubility: Oil‑soluble; miscible with carrier oils/esters; soluble in alcohol; not water‑soluble (use Flora Solve Clear for aqueous systems).
Storage: Store tightly closed, away from light, heat, and air exposure; amber packaging preferred. Refrigeration can slow oxidation. Best used within 24 months.
