Bio Elderberry Seed Oil Ultrasonically Infused with Labdanum Resin is a luxurious botanical oil crafted with organic elderberry seed oil and carefully infused with rich labdanum resin using ultrasonic infusion technology. This refined process helps disperse the warm, balsamic, amber-like character of labdanum into a silky botanical oil, creating an elegant ingredient for luxury skincare, body oils, massage blends, ritual beauty oils, balms, and natural perfumery.
Organic elderberry seed oil is valued in cosmetic formulations for its lightweight texture, elegant skin feel, and naturally occurring fatty acids, tocopherols, phytosterols, and unsaponifiable compounds. It is especially suitable for facial oils, body oils, botanical serums, balms, hair oils, and premium anhydrous skincare.
Labdanum resin, obtained from Cistus ladanifer, is one of the most treasured resinous materials in perfumery. Its aroma is warm, deep, balsamic, amber-like, sweet, leathery, resinous, and slightly smoky. Often used as a natural amber note and fixative-style base material, labdanum adds sensual depth, warmth, and sophistication to botanical oils and fragrance compositions.
This infusion is ideal for brands seeking a rich, warm, resin-infused oil with both skincare elegance and natural perfumery appeal.

Composition & Formulation Notes
This is a Cistus ladanifer resin infusion in elderberry seed oil. The producer does not state the infusion ratio or provide a quantified, batch-specific constituent profile in the product description.
- Do not transfer the expected chemistry of labdanum absolute, essential oil, raw resin or other extracts directly to this infused fixed oil.
- No concentration of resin acids, volatile constituents or fragrance allergens can be inferred without batch analysis.
- The existing information contains broad carrier-oil use ranges but also a 2% leave-on restriction; use the conservative 2% maximum until the supplier confirms otherwise.
- Use the batch COA, SDS and applicable allergen or IFRA documentation, and test stability, odour and colour in the finished formula.
Applications
- Facial, body and massage oils at a level appropriate to the finished formula.
- Hair and scalp oils.
- Balms, butters and other anhydrous cosmetic products.
- Perfume oils and natural fragrance bases.
- Aromatic or ritual beauty formulations where a warm amber-resin character is desired.
These are formulation uses, not therapeutic claims. Confirm suitability, stability and regulatory requirements for the intended market and finished product.
Safety
Always patch test before topical use.
- For external use only.
- For leave-on products, do not exceed 2% unless current supplier documentation supports a different limit.
- Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes.
- Review the batch SDS, allergen declaration and applicable IFRA documentation; resin-derived aromatic materials may be sensitising for some users.
