Tagetes Oil

Product Overview

From the heart of Kannauj, India — the Perfume Capital of India — Shiva Exports India presents our premium Tagetes Essential Oil, a highly aromatic botanical extract prized for its exceptional green-fruity complexity and therapeutic efficacy. Deeply rooted in Kannauj's centuries-old legacy of artisanal distillation, we bridge traditional expertise with modern, state-of-the-art steam distillation facilities to process fresh Tagetes minuta crops. This meticulous, low-pressure extraction process guarantees an unadulterated, therapeutic-grade essential oil that meets the rigorous standards of global fragrance houses and pharmaceutical formulators.

🌿 Olfactory Profile & Applications

As a master perfumer's asset, Tagetes Oil offers a highly complex, powerful olfactory profile. It opens with an intense, sweet, almost pungent top note characterized by wild-fruity nuances reminiscent of green mango, ripe apple, and sharp citrus. This transitions into a warm, herbaceous, and slightly ketonic middle note with a faint, woody-balsamic undertone in the dry-down. Its high concentration of dihydrotagetone, tagetone, and ocimene makes it an invaluable modifier in the hands of creative perfumers.

This versatile oil is highly sought after across several B2B sectors, including:

• Fine Fragrances: Adds unique, natural fruity-green top notes to floral, chypre, and citrus accords.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Utilized in targeted skincare formulations for its powerful antimicrobial and antifungal properties.
• Aromatherapy: Incorporated into respiratory and spasmolytic blends to promote muscle relaxation and mental clarity.
• Natural Biocides: Formulated into eco-friendly insect repellents and agricultural pest control solutions due to its proven larvicide properties.

📖 Usage & Formulation Guide

To assist your product development teams, our in-house lab suggests the following formulation parameters:

• Perfumery Accords: Tagetes Oil is highly potent. We recommend a usage level of 0.05% to 0.5% in the final fragrance concentrate. It acts as an exceptional modifier when paired with Lavender, Clary Sage, Jasmine, Bergamot, and citrus oils, introducing a vibrant, exotic top-note lift.
• Skincare & IFRA Compliance: Due to the presence of phototoxic compounds (thiophenes), formulators must adhere strictly to IFRA guidelines. For leave-on skin applications (creams, lotions), maintain concentration below 0.01%. For rinse-off applications like antimicrobial soaps, it can be safely formulated up to 0.1%.
• Natural Insect Repellents: For commercial eco-friendly bug sprays, blend Tagetes Oil with Citronella, Lemongrass, and Cedarwood oils at a total active concentration of 1% to 2% in a suitable natural solubilizer matrix.
• Professional Aromatherapy: For respiratory-support diffuser blends, combine 2 drops of Tagetes Oil, 10 drops of Lavender, and 6 drops of Bergamot (FCF) per 100ml of water.
