Plant Therapy is proud to offer Vanilla Botanical Extract that is sustainably sourced from Uganda!
Uganda is one of the main areas of vanilla production in the world, with perfect agri-climatic conditions. The green beans are harvested in June/July and December/January. In Uganda, a fast-curing and hydro-distillation process has been developed resulting in a higher content of vanillin, giving the final product a rich, intense, vanilla aroma. Vanilla Botanical Extract will bring a gourmand, inviting scent to any blend. It is a favorite for body products as it blends well with so many oils. You can also use Vanilla to help relieve agitation and promote a relaxed environment.
Ylang Ylang is most commonly known as an aphrodisiac. Differing from Ylang Ylang Complete, Ylang Ylang Extra is ideal for perfumers. With a more refined, rounded scent than Ylang Ylang Complete, Ylang Ylang Extra is great diffused or used in a perfume, and can also help reduce every day worry and uplift mood. Added to a carrier oil, it can also be used for a romantic massage!
