Vanilla Oleoresin
There’s something universally comforting about the scent of vanilla — warm, sweet, nostalgic. But the vanilla we use isn’t your average synthetic fragrance. At Made in Hemp, we formulate with vanilla oleoresin — a natural, solvent-free extract derived directly from real vanilla beans.
You’ll find it in our Vanilla Hemp Body Butter, where it adds a gentle, skin-safe aroma and contributes to the buttery softness of the formula. It’s not just a scent — it’s an experience.
What Is Vanilla Oleoresin?
Vanilla oleoresin is a thick, aromatic extract made by using a food-safe solvent (usually CO₂ or ethanol) to draw out the essential oils and resins from cured Vanilla planifolia pods. The result is a dark, rich paste — far more complex and earthy than synthetic vanilla fragrance or even traditional essential oils.
Unlike vanilla absolute (which is expensive and difficult to work with) or synthetic vanillin (which often causes irritation), oleoresin is stable, gentle, and naturally aromatic, making it ideal for skincare.
