Oregano Oil, 100 ml for Lab Work
The 100 ml bottle lets a product developer see how oregano behaves in a specific base before committing it to production. The material is the essential oil of Origanum vulgare, steam distilled from flowering shoots and produced in Spain according to the product card. INCI: Origanum vulgare L. Essential Oil.
Why dosing matters so much
The oil is built around phenols, chiefly carvacrol and often thymol, alongside gamma-terpinene and p-cymene. At higher concentrations phenols irritate the skin, so trials should establish the lowest level that gives the desired scent.
Scent character
Warm, spicy and herbal with a distinct phenolic note. Even a few tenths of a percent are noticeable.
Uses
Deodorising products
Lotions, toners and sprays aimed at odour control.
Foot products
Gels and powders with herbal freshness.
Rinse-off care
Shower gels with a bold spicy character.
How to add it
Stay under 1 % in leave-on body products and use 0.5 to 1 % in rinse-off products. Keep it out of facial, lip and children’s products. Add it at or below 40 °C, with a solubiliser for water-based systems.
Compatibility
Lemon, grapefruit, rosemary, lavender and eucalyptus blend well with oregano. Put stability samples into the final packaging.
