Oleoresin
Green Vanilla
- Botanical name : Vanilla Planifolia
- Country of origin : Madagascar
- Olfactory Family : Gourmand
- Harvester : Bionexx
- Harvested part : Pods
- Main application : Diffusion
Green Vanilla oleoresin (Vanilla Planifolia) is made from exceptional vanilla pods from Madagascar. Unlike the classic method, the still-green vanilla pods are stressed, first at very low temperature and then with heat, to achieve the highest possible vanillin concentration and bring out the best of the product’s fragrance. Heady and powerful, it gives off a smooth, sweet and round scent.
Known for its nourishing, moisturising and toning virtues, green vanilla oleoresin is often recommended as an antiseptic. In diffusion, it also promotes relaxation and is even said to aid digestion.
Olfactory description
The great star of our combined senses of smell and taste, Vanilla is one of the most sought-after and universally loved aromas. It is striking how, nowadays, vanilla imitations seem more successful than the plant itself. Le Sourceur’s green vanilla hopes to bring attention back to this treasure of nature, through a healthy and fair process. This vanilla is younger, more floral and more resinous than usual.
Infinitely more delicate, it first unfolds subtly powdery and finely balmy. As its aura warms up and fills the air, accents reminiscent of animal fur emerge, along with more leathery and woody notes. The base seems to go on forever, in the greatest softness, bringing back distant childhood memories.

Instructions for use
Because of its viscous texture, it is easier to use after gently warming the oil, ideally in a bain-marie. Do not exceed 30°C, as this could damage the qualities of the green vanilla oleoresin.
For your safety and that of your loved ones, please consult an aromatherapy professional.

Conservation
Oleoresins are sensitive to UV radiation and the gradual evaporation of their constituents. It is therefore essential to store them in a dark glass or aluminium bottle with a tight seal at a temperature between 5°C and 40°C.
Before use, it is essential to read the precautions for use.
Caution
Keep out of reach of children / Do not use on pregnant or breastfeeding women or children under 6 years of age.
