Mandevilla oil, 500 ml for regular production runs
This 500 ml container is for brands whose Mandevilla scent has moved from the lab into regular production. Mandevilla, the dipladenia vine of the dogbane family, is used in cosmetics for its floral fragrance. The product card lists the INCI name Mandevilla spp. Flower Essential Oil and India as the country of production. A larger lot keeps your creams, mists and candles smelling the same from batch to batch over a longer period.
Planning with a half-litre container
At a 0.5 % level, 500 ml of oil covers around 100 kg of body lotion or cream. Products with higher fragrance loads, such as perfume oils or candles, need their own calculation. Building these numbers into your purchasing plan means the next container arrives before the current one runs out, rather than in a rush.
Handling a floral oil in large batches
Delicate florals are the first to suffer from heat and air. Large batches stay warm longer, so add the oil only once the mass is below 40 °C. Close the container straight after dispensing and use a smaller working bottle for daily needs, so the bulk is opened as rarely as possible.
Uses in production
Hand and body creams
Add the oil to the cooled emulsion at 0.3 to 0.8 %.
Body and hair mists
Premix Mandevilla with a solubiliser in a side vessel before adding it to the water phase.
Candles
In wax the floral accord softens, so it is often paired with vanilla. Test the throw in your chosen wax at production scale, because larger candles can behave differently from small samples.
Fragrance premix
For repeat production it is handy to prepare a fragrance premix: Mandevilla oil with its fixative and supporting notes in the approved ratio, kept in an amber glass bottle. At each batch you weigh one liquid instead of several, which cuts the risk of errors. A premix is also easier to check on arrival against a retained reference.
Labelling and paperwork
A short incoming-goods checklist covering appearance, clarity and scent against the reference sample takes only minutes and prevents costly mix-ups later.
Card data
Country of production India, INCI Mandevilla spp. Flower Essential Oil, light yellow to almost colourless, medium density, pack size 500 ml.
Production example: hand cream, 5 kg
Heat a water phase of 3600 g water and 200 g glycerin, and an oil phase of 500 g shea butter, 350 g sweet almond oil and 220 g cetearyl alcohol based emulsifier, both to 75 °C. Combine, homogenise and cool. At 40 °C add 50 g preservative, 25 g tocopherol, 30 ml of Mandevilla oil and 10 ml of vanilla extract in oil, then mix until smooth. Butters for the oil phase are in wholesale solid oils and butters. Before a run like this, a new variation can be tested from the 50 ml bottle. The full range is in wholesale essential oils.
Storage
Keep the container closed in a cool, dark stockroom, away from heaters and direct light.
Pre-blending for consistency
Mix mandevilla with its supporting notes in a separate vessel before each run and let the blend rest for a day or two. A matured pre-blend gives a smoother floral profile and makes batches easier to match.
