Composition & Formulation Notes

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

• Do not transfer the expected chemistry of orris butter, orris absolute, labdanum absolute or concentrated root extracts directly to this infused fixed oil.
• Irones and other characteristic orris constituents cannot be assumed or quantified 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, solid perfumes and natural fragrance bases.
• Aromatic or ritual beauty formulations where a warm amber-powder and violet-like orris 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 for the root and resin materials.
• 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.
