Spikenard Oil — 100% pure, non‑adulterated essential oil for cosmetic formulations. Oil‑soluble; add during cool‑down; for aqueous systems use Flora Solve Clear.

Spikenard Oil Essential Oil is a natural aromatic oil obtained by steam distillation or cold pressing from plant material, 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: Spikenard notes; volatility is generally in the top‑to‑middle note range depending on batch and origin.

Product Description: A 100% pure, non‑adulterated essential oil for cosmetic use. In leave‑on systems (creams, lotions, balms, serums), low dosages create a subtle, clean impression; higher dosages increase diffusion and strength. In rinse‑off systems (shampoo, body wash), higher ranges are typically required to overcome surfactant headspace. For bar soap, dosage can be adjusted to balance scent strength and process behavior. Pairing with fixatives or longer‑lasting mid/base notes can improve retention.

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%

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.
