lavandin oil replacer

Lavandin oil replacer is a complex natural mixture classified as a fragrance material notable for its herbal aromatic qualities. Known under multiple synonyms such as lavandin coeur reco 01, lavandin grosso olypop, and lavandin identoil 30/32%, it is widely used in fragrance applications. The material exhibits a characteristic herbal odor profile strongly reminiscent of lavandin essential oil. Chemically, it consists mainly of volatile organic compounds akin to those in Lavandula species. It is sourced through processes that capture the essence of lavandin plants, often involving steam distillation methods. The compound is catalogued in various chemical databases including PubChem, linking to essential oil constituents. This replacer is designed to simulate the scent of natural lavandin while providing formulation consistency and stability.

Lavandin oil replacer is derived from Lavandula species, plants native to Mediterranean regions and widely cultivated for their aromatic properties. This material serves as a substitute for natural lavandin essential oil in fragrance formulations. It finds primary application as a fragrance agent in perfumes, cosmetics, and personal care products. According to IFRA (Global) guidelines, it is not intended for flavor use and is regulated within fragrance codes of practice to ensure formulation safety. Its consistent chemical profile allows perfumers to achieve a herbal lavandin scent without relying solely on natural variants, which may vary due to environmental factors. This replacer supports sustainable sourcing by reducing pressure on natural plant populations and ensures product stability in aromatic blends.

Lavandin oil replacer possesses a flash point of approximately 54°C (130°F), indicating its moderate volatility and flammability under typical conditions. It dissolves readily in alcohol, facilitating incorporation into ethanol-based perfumes and colognes, while remaining insoluble in water, which affects its dispersion in aqueous systems. The chemical profile lends to a stable herbal aroma, attributable to constituents similar to those found in lavandin essential oil. This solubility and volatility profile require careful consideration during formulation to optimize scent delivery and product stability. Additionally, the compound's peroxide levels are advised to be kept low via antioxidant addition to maintain quality over storage, as recommended by IFRA standards, thereby affecting the shelf-life and sensory appeal in final consumer products.

IFRA Code of Practice Notification of the 49th Amendment to the IFRA Code of Practice
IFRA fragrance material specification:
	Linalool and natural products known to be rich in linalool, such as bois de rose, coriander or ho wood oil, should only be used when the level of peroxides is kept to the lowest practical level. It is recommended to add antioxidants at the time of production of the raw material. The addition of 0.1% BHT or alpha-tocopherol for example has shown great efficiency. The maximum peroxide level for products in use should be 20 mmol/l.
Recommendation for lavandin oil replacer flavor usage levels up to:
	not for flavor use.
