Pogostemon Cablin Leaf Oil (Patchouli Oil)

Pogostemon Cablin Leaf Oil is a fragrant essential oil—typically obtained by steam distillation of the leaves of Pogostemon cablin (patchouli)—valued for its deep, earthy-woody aroma and excellent tenacity in fragrance compositions. In cosmetic formulations, it is used primarily as a perfuming ingredient and fixative, helping anchor and prolong scent profiles while adding warmth and complexity. It can also contribute skin-conditioning and antioxidant support within botanical blends, and is often selected for products targeting dry, stressed, or mature-looking skin due to its comforting sensorial character. Commonly used at low concentrations, it is found in facial oils, serums, creams, body lotions, soaps, deodorants, and hair care. As a naturally complex essential oil containing potential fragrance allergens, it is typically formulated in line with applicable IFRA guidance, particularly for leave-on products and sensitive skin.
