About
Vanilla planifolia seed powder — a fragrant seed powder from the vanilla orchid, used for its aromatic and skin-softening properties.
Vanilla planifolia seed powder is produced from dried, ground vanilla orchid seeds. Vanilla beans contain vanillin, which is not restricted in EU cosmetics. However, vanilla absolute may contain benzyl alcohol and other fragrance allergens that require declaration under Regulation 1223/2009 if above threshold (0.001% in leave-on products). The seed powder form is considered low-risk for allergenicity.
