AGLAIA ODORATA FLOWER OIL

Description

Aglaia Odorata Flower Oil, derived from the blossoms of the Chinese Perfume Plant (Aglaia odorata), is a potent natural ingredient in skincare formulations. This essential oil is known for its sweet, floral fragrance and potential therapeutic properties. Rich in bioactive compounds, including benzyl benzoate and methyl salicylate, it offers various benefits for skin health.

The oil possesses anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, making it effective in soothing irritated skin and combating acne-causing bacteria. Its antioxidant content helps protect the skin from free radical damage, potentially reducing signs of premature aging. Aglaia Odorata Flower Oil has shown promise in improving skin tone and texture, promoting a more even complexion.

In skincare products, this oil is often used in low concentrations due to its potency. It can be found in serums, facial oils, and moisturizers targeting skin rejuvenation and repair. While generally well-tolerated, patch testing is recommended for those with sensitive skin or known allergies to botanical ingredients. As with many essential oils, it should be used with caution during pregnancy or in conjunction with certain medications.
