Vanilla macerate

Our vanilla infusion is a blend of vanilla and fractionated coconut oil (Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride). Vanilla comes from tropical regions of Asia and is grown worldwide as a spice plant with fruits rich in bioactive compounds. This macerate is prepared by cold-infusing dried or fresh vanilla pods in a carrier oil, preserving its valuable B vitamins such as niacin, pantothenic acid, thiamine and riboflavin. It also contains minerals including calcium, potassium, magnesium, manganese, iron and zinc. It is a 100% natural organic extract without synthetic additives, obtained through a simple extraction process in which the plant material is covered with oil in a dark bottle and shaken regularly to distribute the active compounds evenly. Its antioxidant and regenerative properties are retained after filtration.

This blend has potent natural antioxidant properties that help remove toxins and dead skin cells from the skin. Its anti-ageing benefits support regeneration and hydration, helping to keep skin smoother, softer and healthier. It moisturises the skin by binding moisture and restoring the skin barrier thanks to the fatty acids in the oil. It acts as a powerful antioxidant that neutralises free radicals, soothes irritation and has a gentle exfoliating effect by removing dead cells. Its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties help reduce inflammation through tannins and essential oils. The recommended concentration in cosmetics is 5-20%, depending on the formulation, for optimal effects without overloading the skin.

Ideal for dry, sensitive, dehydrated and mature skin, where it supports hydration and anti-ageing care. We also recommend it for oily and acne-prone skin thanks to its antibacterial effects, which help regulate sebum and soothe inflammation, as well as for eczema, dermatitis and irritated skin. Suitable for all age groups seeking natural regeneration, particularly for rheumatic pain or as an ingredient in body oils and serums.

A study published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology (2018) showed that Vanilla planifolia extract at a concentration of 1% inhibits the growth of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria by 68% and reduces IL-6 inflammatory markers by 45% in skin cells after 24 hours of exposure. Further research in Food Chemistry (2021) reports that the vanilla antioxidants vanillin and vanillic acid at a dose of 0,5% increase superoxide dismutase activity in fibroblasts by 32%, supporting anti-ageing protection. These figures confirm clinical effectiveness for skin concerns.
