Vanilla Botanical Extract 10 ml (ChildSafe)
Child Safe When Diluted.
Vanilla is well known for its warm, inviting scent. It is often used in sensual and fall blends. When diffused, it can help reduce nervous tension and agitation, and promote relaxation before sleep. This vanilla botanical extract carries the rich, full scent of Vanilla Bean's goodness, including plant waxes and pigments. This means that the oil will be very thick; in fact, it may be solid or nearly so. To help ease the Vanilla Botanical Extract from the bottle, place the tightly capped bottle in a small zipper-style plastic baggie and then place the baggie in a small bowl of very warm water. The warmth will liquefy the oil; it will not harm it. After a few minutes, remove the baggie from the water, and then the bottle from the bag. It should be liquid enough to drip, but in some cases, you may need to coax the oil from the bottle with a pipette.
True Aroma LIving is proud to offer Vanilla Botanical Extract that is sustainably sourced from Uganda!
Uganda is one of the main areas of vanilla production in the world, with perfect agri-climatic conditions. The green beans are harvested in June/July and December/January. In Uganda, a fast-curing and hydro-distillation process has been developed resulting in a higher content of vanillin, giving the final product a rich, intense, vanilla aroma. Vanilla Botanical Extract will bring a gourmand, inviting scent to any blend. It is a favorite for body products as it blends well with so many oils. You can also use Vanilla to help relieve agitation and promote a relaxed environment
