This is a small batch from an artisanal distillation of Lippia alba, where leaves and flower buds were used to extract its rare essential oil. Its leaves have multiple healing properties: antispasmodic, carminative, digestive, diuretic, expectorant, laxative, sedative, somnolent, sudorific, antimicrobial, antioxidant, antiulcer and anticonvulsant. Its essential oil is rich in carvone, piperitone, tagetenone and citral. Native to the United States, Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America, and South America. Very useful for cleaning environments and disinfecting them, this plant has been found to be very effective in the fight against the Helicobacter Pyloris virus. However, the essential oil should not be ingested, since it is very concentrated, however it is very useful to create surface disinfectant sprays or use in a diffuser to clean a room with bad odors or stuffy atmospheres.

Not for use during pregnancy, with the elderly, infants, or if epileptic. Possible skin irritant in some individuals; dilute well.

Formulation & Usage

Published Lippia alba oils show multiple chemotypes, including citral-, carvone- and linalool-rich profiles. The source list cannot establish this batch’s chemotype without GC-MS.

Required Verification

Obtain the current COA, SDS, GC-MS, chemotype, allergen declaration, organic certificate and IFRA certificate.
Confirm the actual plant parts and values for carvone, piperitone, tagetenone, citral, limonene and other major constituents.
Set dermal, inhalation and surface-product limits from the current batch profile.

Formulation

Evaluate at low levels in perfume, diffuser, soap and fragrance-only cleaning concepts.
Helicobacter pylori is a bacterium, not a virus; do not market the oil as treating it.
Do not describe a spray or diffuser as a disinfectant without validated efficacy, a defined formula and the required regulatory authorization.
Do not transfer traditional leaf uses or preclinical chemotype studies into consumer therapeutic claims.

Applications

Perfumery

For fresh citrus-herbal hearts, fruity floral accords and lively aromatic structures.

Soap & Home Fragrance

For fragrance in soap, diffusers and room products after IFRA and inhalation review.

Cleaning Fragrance

For odor-focused surface fragrance only; disinfectant efficacy requires separate validated and regulated evidence.

Safety

For external use only; do not ingest or apply undiluted.
Chemotype changes safety: obtain current GC-MS, SDS, allergen declaration and IFRA certificate.
