Blackberry - natural fragrance composition

Blackberry - natural fragrance composition Parfum cernica

Description: It is a fragrant composition with a fruity, sweet and slightly green tone, inspired by the aroma of wild berries. In cosmetics, it functions as a fragrance ingredient that gives the product a fresh, appealing and naturally occurring character. It is usually a blend of aromatic substances of plant or synthetic origin, designed to be stable in emulsions, gel-based and cleansing formulations.

Function: Its main role is perfuming and masking undesirable odors of raw materials. It is not a moisturizing, barrier-restoring or exfoliating active ingredient, but a sensory element that increases user comfort and the perceived quality of the product. In cosmetics, fragrance compositions are used in low concentrations, often around 0.1 to 1%, depending on the product type, formula stability and IFRA restrictions.

Recommendations: It is especially suitable for products for normal, combination and oily skin, or for body and hair care cosmetics, where the goal is a pleasant scent without significantly affecting skin function. Caution is advisable for sensitive, reactive, atopic or compromised skin, because fragrance ingredients may cause irritation in sensitive individuals. For very dry and mature skin, it is better suited to lightly fragranced formulations.

Citations, specific numbers and statistics: In a study published in the journal Food Chemistry, which analyzed the aroma of blackberry using HS-SPME/GC-MS, approximately 30 volatile compounds were identified in the samples. Key contributors to the fruity-floral profile included linalool, hexanal and ionones. The results show that blackberry fragrance is chemically complex and its profile is made up of a combination of terpenoids, esters and aldehydes. Since it is a fragrance ingredient, direct clinical studies on the skin are limited; available studies focus mainly on the aromatic composition and fragrance stability.
