Patchouli oil is a natural essential oil extracted through steam distillation from the dried stems and leaves of Pogostemon cablin, a plant of the Lamiaceae family. Characterized by a unique, mellow, woody aroma (with a touch of earthy sweetness), it concentrates the core active ingredients of patchouli and offers multiple benefits, including fragrance blending and skincare. It is widely used in high-end cosmetics, perfumes, and aromatherapy, making it a classic and highly recognizable natural essential oil with a long-lasting aroma.
The chemical composition of patchouli oil is centered around sesquiterpenes, a stable structure. The core composition is as follows:
Characteristic Core Ingredients
Pachouliol: Comprising the highest percentage, typically 30%-50%, it is the key ingredient that imparts patchouli oil's signature woody aroma and is the core carrier of its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and skin-repairing properties.
Pachouli ketone: Comprising approximately 5%-15%, it adds a unique medicinal and earthy note to the aroma and possesses potent antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.
Ancillary Active Ingredients
Sesquiterpenes: These include caryophyllene and α-guaiacene, which enrich the aroma and enhance the longevity of the essential oil, while also supporting its anti-inflammatory and soothing properties.
Other Minor Ingredients: Small amounts of patchouliene and farnesene further enhance the aroma's complexity while also enhancing the stability and functionality of the essential oil.
