Properties of Palmarosa Oil and its Function in Formulations:
Palmarosa oil is primarily a natural fragrance ingredient, imparting a soft, floral-rosy note with a light, fresh background to formulations. This makes it suitable for use in both skincare cosmetics and perfumed products.
From a formulation perspective, this oil exhibits:
- good compatibility with other essential oils,
- high concentration of fragrance compounds,
- stability under typical storage conditions.
The presence of geraniol and other monoterpenes means that palmarosa oil is frequently used in products where a natural fragrance composition is important, as well as in aromatherapy-inspired formulations.
Applications:
Palmarosa oil is intended for industrial applications as a cosmetic and fragrance raw material, particularly in:
- skin care creams and lotions,
- body cosmetics and spa products,
- soaps and cleansing preparations,
- massage oils and aromatic formulations,
- perfumes and fragrance compositions,
- scented candles and home fragrance products.
The raw material requires use in accordance with applicable regulations and IFRA and CLP recommendations, considering concentration limits in final products.
