• Solubility: Oil soluble; soluble in alcohol

• Volatility: Moderate

Natural variation in color and aroma may occur depending on harvest timing and extraction parameters.

3. Composition & Functional Attributes

Jasmine Absolute typically contains:

• Benzyl acetate

• Linalool

• Benzyl alcohol

• Indole

• Cis-jasmone

• Various aromatic esters

Composition may vary depending on origin and crop conditions.

Functional Contribution in Formulations

Within cosmetic systems, Jasmine Essential Oil is selected for its ability to:

• Provide floral heart-note structure in fragrance design

• Add depth and complexity to essential oil blends

• Complement luxury botanical positioning

• Integrate into oil and emulsion systems as a fragrance component

Inclusion levels must comply with IFRA standards and allergen declaration requirements.

All safety and performance parameters must be validated within the final cosmetic formulation.

4. Suitable Formulation Applications

• Fragrance components in creams and emulsions

• Anhydrous aromatic blends

• Hair formulations

• Soap and cleansing systems

• Fine fragrance applications

Use levels must be determined through regulatory review, safety assessment, and stability testing.

5. Storage & Stability

• Store in a cool, dry place

• Protect from light and heat

• Keep container tightly sealed

Due to its aromatic complexity, minimizing exposure to air and light helps preserve scent integrity.

6. Handling & Manufacturing Considerations

This material should be handled in accordance with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP).

• Dilution prior to incorporation is recommended

• Allergen labeling obligations must be assessed

• IFRA compliance and maximum usage limits must be observed

Compatibility testing, stability assessment, and final cosmetic safety evaluation remain the responsibility of the formulator or Responsible Person.

7. Regulatory Positioning

This product is supplied strictly as a raw cosmetic ingredient for further formulation.

It is not a finished cosmetic product and is not marketed for direct consumer application.

The purchaser assumes full responsibility for compliance with Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009, IFRA standards, allergen declaration requirements, CPSR preparation, PIF documentation, labeling, stability testing, and notification procedures.

8. Interesting Facts About the Raw Material

• Jasmine is typically extracted as an absolute rather than steam distilled due to the delicacy of its aromatic compounds.

• The indole content contributes to its characteristic depth and complexity.

• Harvesting is often performed at night or early morning when aroma intensity peaks.

• Its aromatic profile evolves significantly once diluted in formulation.

• Composition varies depending on species and geographic origin.
