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 of Osmanthus absolute, labdanum absolute or concentrated flower extracts directly to this infused fixed oil.
• Aromatic lactones, ionones and other volatile 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-apricot floral profile is desired.

These are formulation uses, not therapeutic or spiritual-effect 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 Osmanthus 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.
