Perfectly soluble in 90% alcohol and insoluble in oil and water, Linden Absolute offers cosmetic formulators and artisans a unique opportunity to infuse products with a captivating and truly enchanting fragrance. Recommended for use at 0.1-5%, its nuanced scent profile evokes feelings of tranquility, warmth, and natural beauty.

Versatile Applications in Beauty and Crafting:

Linden Absolute's captivating aroma and unique solubility make it a coveted ingredient across various creative and cosmetic endeavors:

• Fine Fragrance & Perfumery: A stellar choice for creating bespoke perfumes, colognes, and body mists. Its sweet, powdery floral notes can serve as a heart note, adding depth and elegance, or as a radiant top note for a more immediate impact. It blends beautifully with other florals, woody, and citrus accords to create complex and sophisticated compositions.
• Creams, Lotions & Balms: Infuse your facial creams, body lotions, hand balms, and foot creams with the delicate yet rich scent of linden. Its aroma can elevate the sensory experience of daily skincare routines, promoting a sense of calm and well-being.
• Shower Gels & Bath Products: Transform ordinary showers and baths into luxurious, aromatic rituals. Linden Absolute can be incorporated into shower gels, bath oils, bath bombs, and bubble baths, releasing its enchanting fragrance as it interacts with water.
• Hair Care Products: Add a touch of floral sophistication to shampoos, conditioners, hair masks, and styling sprays. The subtle scent remaining on the hair can provide a lasting, pleasant aroma throughout the day.
• Soap Making (Melt & Pour and Cold Process, for scenting): While not soluble in oil, Linden Absolute can be skillfully incorporated into soap formulations. For melt and pour, dissolve it in a small amount of 90% alcohol first before adding to the melted soap base. In cold process, it can be added at trace after being pre-dissolved in alcohol, ensuring even distribution of its beautiful scent.
• Handmade Candles: A magnificent choice for crafting luxurious scented candles. When properly dispersed in candle wax, its sweet floral aroma fills the space, creating an inviting and serene atmosphere. It's particularly well-suited for candles intended for relaxation or romantic settings.
• Aromatherapy Diffusers & Room Sprays (Alcohol-based): Create serene and welcoming environments by incorporating Linden Absolute into alcohol-based room sprays or diffuser blends. Its calming and uplifting qualities make it ideal for bedrooms, living spaces, or meditation areas.
• Crafting & Decorating (Aromatic Elements): Beyond direct cosmetic application, Linden Absolute can be used to impart fragrance to decorative elements. For instance, it can be added to potpourri mixtures (after dilution in alcohol) or used to scent sachets and drawer liners, bringing a touch of nature's elegance to linens and personal spaces.

Cosmetic Recipe: Soothing Linden Blossom Body Mist

Instructions:

1. In a clean, dark glass bottle or beaker, combine the Ethanol and Distilled Water (Phase A). Stir gently to mix.
2. In a separate small, clean glass container, combine the Glycerin and Linden Absolute (Phase B). Stir well until the Linden Absolute is fully dissolved in the glycerin. This pre-dispersion helps ensure even distribution in the final product.
3. Slowly pour Phase B into Phase A, continuously stirring gently.
4. Cap the bottle tightly and shake gently for about 30 seconds to ensure all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
5. Allow the body mist to "age" for at least 24-48 hours before use. This allows the fragrance notes to fully develop and blend, resulting in a more harmonious scent. Store in a cool, dark place.

Application Recommendations:

Spray a light mist onto clean, dry skin from a distance of 6-8 inches (15-20 cm). Avoid spraying directly onto the face or sensitive areas. This body mist is perfect for a refreshing burst of floral fragrance throughout the day, leaving a delicate and sophisticated aroma. Reapply as desired. For external use only. Perform a patch test on a small area of skin before full application, especially if you have sensitive skin or known allergies.
