Kit Contents

1. Golden Jojoba Carrier Oil — 100 ml

A lightweight, conditioning liquid wax that serves as the primary carrier and formulation base. Its excellent oxidative stability, smooth texture, and skin-conditioning properties make it suitable for oil-based perfumes, aromatic body oils, and botanical skincare formulations.

2. Orris Root Butter — 5 ml

A highly prized aromatic material obtained from iris rhizomes, appreciated for its elegant powdery, floral, violet-like, and softly woody fragrance. Particularly valuable in fine perfumery, luxury aromatic balms, and sophisticated botanical fragrance compositions.

3. Oakmoss Absolute — 5 ml

A deeply aromatic lichen extract characterized by earthy, mossy, forest-like, and subtly leathery nuances. Traditionally used in chypre and fougère fragrance compositions, contributing depth and a distinctive mossy character. Its use requires careful attention to fragrance safety restrictions.

4. Patchouli Essential Oil — 5 ml

A rich, earthy, woody essential oil with warm, balsamic undertones. Widely appreciated in natural perfumery for its distinctive fragrance and ability to complement floral, resinous, woody, and amber-inspired compositions.

5. Beeswax CO₂ Extract — 5 ml

A concentrated aromatic extract with warm, honeyed, waxy, and softly sweet nuances. Suitable for exploring gourmand-inspired fragrances, botanical perfume oils, aromatic balms, and sophisticated natural fragrance compositions. Unlike conventional beeswax, the extract should not be assumed to provide structural thickening or solidification.

Composition & Formulation

The Botanica Gaia Botanical Aromatics Kit is a carefully curated collection of five premium botanical ingredients designed for exploring natural perfumery, aromatic skincare, and personalized cosmetic formulations.

Combining the smooth, conditioning qualities of Golden Jojoba Carrier Oil with four richly aromatic botanical materials, this collection offers an introduction to creating sophisticated fragrance compositions, botanical body oils, aromatic balms, and natural perfume blends.

Featuring the powdery floral elegance of Orris Root Butter, the earthy depth of Oakmoss Absolute, the woody richness of Patchouli Essential Oil, and the warm, honeyed character of Beeswax CO₂ Extract, this kit provides a distinctive palette for developing layered botanical fragrances.

Important Formulation Notes

• Concentrated Aromatic Materials: The aromatic ingredients in this kit are concentrated and should not be applied undiluted unless their individual safety assessments specifically support such use.
• Oakmoss Absolute Restrictions: Oakmoss Absolute is subject to important fragrance safety restrictions because certain constituents can cause skin sensitization. Verify compliance with applicable IFRA Standards and restrictions concerning atranol and chloroatranol before use.
• Orris Root Butter: This highly concentrated aromatic ingredient may be viscous or semisolid at room temperature. Gentle warming may improve handling, but excessive heat should be avoided.
• Patchouli Essential Oil: Use at an appropriately assessed concentration. Evaluate the finished formulation for potential skin irritation or sensitization.
• Beeswax CO₂ Extract: This aromatic extract is not equivalent to conventional beeswax and should not be relied upon as the sole thickening or structuring ingredient in solid formulations.
• Facial Applications: Due to the concentrated fragrance materials, particularly Oakmoss Absolute, this collection is primarily suited to natural perfumery and aromatic body products rather than sensitive-skin facial formulations.
• Individual Usage Levels: No universal dilution percentage applies to all four aromatic materials. Each ingredient requires an individual safety assessment.
• Sensitive Skin: Avoid using concentrated aromatic ingredients on damaged, irritated, or highly sensitive skin.
• Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: Review ingredient-specific safety guidance before use.
• Storage: Keep all containers tightly closed in a cool, dry, dark environment, protected from direct sunlight, excessive heat, and oxidation.
• Professional Formulation: Finished cosmetic products require appropriate stability testing, safety assessment, and regulatory review before commercial distribution.
