Natural fragrances: happy skin, happy soul
From the nose to the heart: In selected products, we use valuable essential oils to turn your cleansing and skin care routine into a genuine wellness experience. This section explains how essential oils are made and, most importantly, how they indulge your sense of smell.
The gifts of nature never cease to amaze Natural fragrance ingredients are produced by extracting the very best from the offerings of nature. Every part of a fruit or plant can be used, whether the peel, kernel, seeds, leaves, flowers, buds, stems, roots, resin or twigs.
Lavera’s natural fragrances are primarily formulated with essential oils, which are fragrant, complex organic liquids extracted from plants. Some plants produce them in what is known as secretory cells, and they have numerous different components.
The method used to extract essential oils depends on the plant source. Three different, sometimes very complex processes are used to produce them:
- Pressing the parts of the plant that contain an essential oil, e.g. the seeds or pods
- Extraction, where an alcohol-based substance is used to capture the fragrance.
- Distillation, a very popular and widely used method which draws out fragrant components using hot steam.
Fragrances typically have a three-tier structure. Different notes come to light in each tier, so that the scent profile evolves over time, starting with the top note, which provides the first impression of the fragrance shortly after applying deodorant, perfume or a delicately scented body lotion.
These mostly fleeting notes disappear after about 15 minutes, giving way to the heart notes which can persist for several hours and define the general character of the fragrance.
giving way to the heart notes which can persist for several hours and define the general character of the fragrance. Popular heart notes include floral and spicy scents.
The heart note is eventually ‘displaced’ by the base note, which emerges after approximately 6 hours and typically consists of very persistent woody, powdery, leathery or sweet aromas (e.g. gourmand scents such as vanilla, cinnamon, caramel and sugar).
