Extracted from the premium dried beans of the Vanilla planifolia orchid using advanced, solvent-free supercritical CO₂ technology, this exceptional Vanilla CO2 Extract captures the most complete, unadulterated essence of the raw botanical. Boasting a remarkably complex profile of over 250 naturally occurring aromatic compounds, this extraction method perfectly preserves precious components like vanillic acid and p-hydroxybenzaldehyde alongside rich vanillin. The result is a profoundly warm, creamy, and deeply nostalgic scent that remains incredibly true to the raw vanilla pod—far surpassing the depth of traditional absolutes or tinctures.

In luxury cosmetic formulation and natural perfumery, this thick, highly concentrated extract is a legendary botanical active. It acts as a luxurious, softening foundation in rich body butters, sensual massage oils, and restorative night balms, offering mild antioxidant and soothing properties. In perfumery, it is an unparalleled, gourmand base note fixative that anchors bespoke blends with deep sweetness and softness, pairing beautifully with resins, sandalwood, tonka, cocoa, and bright citrus accords.

Skincare Ritual & Well-being Applications: Within a holistic self-care routine, Vanilla CO2 is universally revered as a profound botanical tool for emotional comfort and deep physical relaxation. Incorporating a carefully diluted drop of this intensely sweet, creamy extract into a decadent evening skincare creme or sensual massage oil encourages a mindful, nurturing approach to personal wellness. Taking the time to slowly massage these warm, nostalgic notes into the skin transforms a functional moisturizing step into a deliberate, restorative daily ritual that actively softens the skin, lifts the mood, and wraps a tired mind in profound, sweet tranquility.

Zurma Offers Two Versions of Vanilla CO₂, Each Varying in Aromatic Intensity and Vanillin Content

Vanilla CO₂ Extract 12% Vanillin
A gently sweet, rounded extract with a soft, true-to-bean aroma. This version contains approximately 12% natural vanillin and is extracted using 11–14 kg of vanilla beans to yield 1 kg of product. Ideal when a subtler vanilla note is desired or when used in larger concentrations in body care or mild aromatic blends.

Vanilla CO₂ Extract 26% Vanillin
A bold and concentrated extract with a strong, creamy, almost syrupy vanilla profile. Contains approximately 26% natural vanillin, with a higher extraction ratio of 16–18 kg beans per 1 kg extract. Thick and pasty at room temperature it naturally forms visible vanillin crystals and can require gentle warming to blend. Best used sparingly in perfumery where lasting impact and deep sweetness are desired.

Formulation & Safety Guidelines:
Application: Designed as a highly concentrated botanical active for advanced cosmetic formulation, fine natural perfumery, and deeply comforting body care blends.

Formulation Note: As a remarkably potent and thick CO2 extract (especially the 26% vanillin variation), this product should never be applied neat (undiluted) to the skin. Due to its thick, pasty, and highly resinous nature, it can sometimes require gentle warming in a tepid water bath prior to seamlessly dissolving into a carrier oil or lipid base.
 
Dilution Ratios: We recommend 0.1–0.5% for delicate facial care formulations, 0.5–2% for rich body butters, creams, and lip balms, and up to 3–5% for fragrance-focused body scrubs or natural perfumed salves.
 
Storage: To preserve its highly complex portfolio of botanical compounds and deep aromatic notes, ensure containers are kept tightly closed. Store in a cool, dark environment away from direct UV exposure and extreme heat.

Safety: For external cosmetic use only. Do not ingest under any circumstances. Always dilute properly before application and avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. We strictly recommend performing a patch test on a small area of skin prior to full application. If you are pregnant or nursing, it is not recommended for use unless under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional.
