Somehow the idea of Vanilla has become banal, bland, and boring, and yet Vanilla Essential Oil is anything but. We’re here to set the record straight and discuss the ins and outs of the most gorgeous natural elixir, Vanilla Essential Oil. Vanilla Essential Oil Benefits: Component Breakdown Vanillin: Traditionally used in treatments for fever, spasms, blood clotting issues, and stomach problems, and painful periods. Hydroxybenzaldehyde: Sweet-smelling component, specific to orchids. Acetic Acid: useful for treating bacteria and fungi. Isobutyric Acid: Has a rich, almost rancid, buttery fragrance in its natural isolation, and appears naturally in human biology. In vaginal secretions, it seems to indicate sexual ripeness and ovulation. Caproic Acid: Useful antimicrobial. Eugenol: Powerful antimicrobial activities. Furfural: Insecticidal abilities. So let’s begin with the sciency stuff because we should begin by saying that really, there is no such thing as vanilla essential oil. There is a vanilla absolute and an oleoresin.

Some flavor and aroma do get lost during the removal of the solvent, but the Essential Oils do remain behind. However, only the geeks are going to ever call it an oleoresin, so from now on, we’ll continue to refer to it as Vanilla Essential Oil. Enough Dissin’ Vanilla, guys...

Lambretta’s speed by, pigeons erupt, and you sigh, deeply, romantically and all consumingly, in love. THAT is VINEVIDA Vanilla Essential Oil, lazy, sensual and languid, rich, decadent, and luxurious. Morpheus’s exotic delight.
