Composition & Formulation Notes

This is a multi-botanical infusion in elderberry seed oil. The producer does not state the infusion ratios or provide a quantified, batch-specific constituent profile.

• Do not transfer the expected chemistry or colour of Blue Tansy essential oil or labdanum absolute directly to this infused fixed oil.
• Chamazulene, other volatile constituents and the finished colour cannot be assumed without batch-specific analytical documentation.
• 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-herbal and green-floral profile 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, especially for the Asteraceae-derived flower material.
• Seek qualified guidance for use during pregnancy, with young children or on highly sensitive skin.
• Store tightly closed in light-protective packaging, away from heat and moisture.
