Violet Oil botanical infused oil for floral accords in cosmetic and fragrance systems
Violet Oil is an oil based botanical infusion produced by transferring aromatic fractions from Viola odorata into a carrier oil medium. INCI Viola Odorata Extract in combination with a base oil. It is used in cosmetic formulations and fragrance systems as a mild floral component that modifies scent profile and enhances application properties of the oil phase.
What it is and where it is used
Violet Oil is incorporated into facial care products body oils emulsions balms and hair formulations where a soft floral nuance and smooth sensory feel are required.
It is commonly used in blends to adjust fragrance direction and to reduce sharpness of dominant notes. Typical applications include lightweight emulsions aromatic oils leave in hair products and spa blends.
How it works
The oil distributes evenly over the surface forming a light lipid layer that improves glide and reduces friction during application. Aromatic molecules contribute a subtle floral tone within the composition.
It functions as an emollient and as a fragrance carrier helping to stabilize distribution of scent materials across the formulation.
Properties
Subtle floral aromatic profile
Light to medium oil viscosity
Enhances glide and application comfort
Balances strong aromatic notes
Compatible with esters essential oils and vegetable oils
Supports uniform sensory performance
Applications across industries
In cosmetics it is used in creams oils emulsions and balms
In skin care it is applied in scented and comfort focused formulations
In hair care it is used in conditioning and styling systems
In spa products it is used in massage and aromatic blends
In perfumery it is used as a modifier for floral accords
Behavior in formulation
Violet Oil is incorporated into the oil phase and does not dissolve in water. It blends efficiently with other lipophilic ingredients and fragrance materials.
In emulsions it requires emulsification to ensure stability. It can influence final color tone and aromatic intensity.
How to use
Add to oil phase during formulation
Introduce at final blending stage for fragrance control
Mix thoroughly for uniform distribution
Recommended usage level
0.5 to 8 percent depending on required scent intensity
Higher levels in oil based systems
Lower levels for subtle fragrance adjustment
Formulation example
Floral conditioning oil
Violet Oil — 120 ml
Camellia Oil — 400 ml
Caprylic Capric Triglyceride — 350 ml
Argan Oil — 120 ml
Tocopherol — 10 ml

Important considerations
Violet Oil is a mild aromatic material and should be dosed based on desired fragrance profile
It may slightly alter color depending on concentration
Overall performance depends on full formulation design
Storage conditions influence stability and aroma retention
