Description and Uses:
Patchouli Essential Oil is a deeply aromatic, grounding oil steam distilled from the leaves of Pogostemon cablin. With its signature musky, earthy, smoky scent, Patchouli is beloved in aromatherapy and natural perfumery for its rich base note and lingering aroma that creates a sense of calm and sensual warmth.
In skincare, Patchouli is traditionally known as a soothing oil for all skin types, and it is especially appreciated in blends designed for mature skin. It is also commonly used to support skin that feels dry or blemish-prone, and has long been included in scalp care formulas for dandruff and dry, flaky scalp conditions (when properly diluted). Patchouli’s reputation as a balancing, skin-supportive oil makes it a staple ingredient in creams, lotions, soaps, body oils, and facial blends.
Emotionally, Patchouli’s exotic aroma is deeply grounding and stabilizing, often used during times of stress, restlessness, or emotional overwhelm. It’s also widely known for its traditional role as an aphrodisiac and a classic perfume ingredient.
Traditional Uses: anti-inflammatory agent, antiseptic, astringent, aphrodisiac, perfumery fixative, skincare support, scalp care.
