Lily Absolute

🌿 Product Overview

From the heart of Kannauj, India — the Perfume Capital of India — Shiva Exports India presents our premium Lily Absolute (Lilium candidum), an exquisite, highly concentrated botanical extract that captures the true, multi-dimensional olfactory profile of the majestic white lily. By bridging Kannauj’s centuries-old traditional distillation heritage with state-of-the-art, non-thermal solvent extraction technologies, we preserve the delicate, heat-sensitive volatile compounds of the fresh petals. This therapeutic-grade absolute provides global B2B buyers, cosmetic chemists, and master perfumers with an authentic, unadulterated raw material of exceptional purity and batch-to-batch consistency.

🌿 Olfactory Profile & Applications

Our Lily Absolute is a complex, rich, and highly sophisticated fragrance ingredient. It opens with top notes of crisp, dew-kissed green stems and light aquatic freshness, transitioning into an opulent, sweet, and creamy white-floral heart. The dry-down reveals warm, subtle honeyed undertones and a delicate, spicy-balsamic base that acts as an excellent natural fixative in fine perfumery.

Due to its complex aromatic and bioactive composition, our Lily Absolute is highly sought after across several commercial industries:

• Fine Fragrances: Serves as a primary heart note in luxury floral, oriental, and green perfume accords.
• Premium Cosmetics: Formulated in high-end anti-aging face creams, moisturizing lotions, and targeted under-eye serums to improve skin texture and tone.
• Aromatherapy & Wellness: Used by professional aromatherapists in stress-relief blends to ease physical and mental tension.
• Personal Care: Enhances the sensory appeal of luxury soaps, body washes, and artisanal candle formulations.

📖 Usage & Formulation Guide

As a highly concentrated extract, Lily Absolute requires precise handling and dilution. Use these expert guidelines for optimal incorporation into your product lines:

• Fine Perfumery Accord: To construct a classic white floral bouquet, blend Lily Absolute with Jasmine Grandiflorum, Neroli, and a base of East Indian Sandalwood. A recommended starting ratio is 2 parts Lily Absolute, 1 part Jasmine, 1 part Neroli, and 3 parts Sandalwood, diluted to 8-12% in perfumer's alcohol.
• Advanced Skincare Formulations: For anti-aging or barrier-repair creams targeting dry elbows, feet, or under-eye dark circles, incorporate Lily Absolute at 0.2% to 0.5% during the cool-down phase (below 40°C) of your emulsion. This protects the active feruloyl glycerol and coumaroylglycerol compounds from thermal degradation.
• Therapeutic Massage Blends: Dilute at a 1% concentration in a stable carrier oil such as Jojoba or Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (approx. 6 drops of absolute per 30ml of carrier). It blends synergistically with sweet citrus and light spice oils to promote micro-circulation.
• Luxury Candle & Soap Making: Use at 1.5% to 3.0% of total lipid weight. Ensure proper curing times in cold-process soap making to allow the natural balsamic-honeyed fixatives to fully mature within the soap matrix.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Lily Absolute and steam-distilled essential oils?
True lily flowers cannot withstand the high heat of steam distillation without losing their delicate aromatic and chemical properties. Lily Absolute is obtained via solvent extraction, which preserves the heavy, complex volatile compounds, yielding an aroma that is true to the living flower.

Can your Lily Absolute be used directly on the skin?
No, our Lily Absolute is a 100% pure, highly concentrated commercial-grade ingredient. It must be properly diluted in a carrier oil, cream base, or alcohol solvent before topical application or formulation.

What is the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) for bulk purchases?
To accommodate both boutique perfumers and large-scale cosmetic manufacturers, our wholesale MOQ for high-value absolutes starts at 100ml, scaling up to multi-kilogram industrial quantities.

Does Shiva Exports India provide documentation for regulatory compliance?
Yes. We provide complete documentation for all bulk shipments, including batch-specific GC-MS reports, Certificates of Analysis (COA), Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), and IFRA compliance certificates.
