We are excited to offer this luscious jojoba oil that we have infused with Vanilla oleoresin. The aroma is warm, rich and full of vanilla! This oil can be used as a carrier oil for making any essential oil blend, for making body butters, lip balm and lip stick bases, perfumes, massage oils or as its own moisturizer. I have been using jojoba as a moisturizer for as long as I can remember, and having the vanilla aroma is a wonderful addition!

Aromatics International's Bourbon Vanilla Oleoresin is produced in Madagascar. The production of Vanilla Oleoresin involves an alcohol extraction of Vanilla beans, followed by removal of the alcohol by distillation in a vacuum. The oleoresin remaining after alcohol evaporation is a dark, luscious brown and is thicker than honey. Vanilla Oleoresin is very concentrated and is also much thicker then a pure absolute.

This thick, syrupy Vanilla Oleoresin will not consider diluting itself in jojoba as it is not fat soluble! A great approach is to put a large blob of vanilla oleoresin in 16 oz of jojoba and let it infuse for a week. The jojoba will absorb the aroma of the vanilla but it will not blend with the vanilla, so the vanilla stays on the bottom of the bottle. Once you have used all the jojoba you can re-use the vanilla by adding another 16 oz of jojoba to the bottle, no need to add more vanilla! I have re-used my one blob of vanilla in 16 oz. of jojoba 4 times already and the aroma of the jojoba is still strong!
