Typical Uses of Mimosa Absolute Oil 50% in Sunflower Oil

Mimosa Absolute Oil is used mainly as a professional perfumery and formulation material. It is not a general-purpose aromatic oil.

Common uses include:

Perfumery and fine fragrance compositions as a soft floral base note
Cosmetic scenting in oils, balms, creams and solid perfumes
Aromatic blending where warmth, roundness and gentle floral depth are needed
Craft and artisan products such as candles and soaps at low concentrations

This material is normally used as a supporting base note rather than a dominant aroma.

Handling and Working Dilution

Because mimosa absolute is naturally solid or very thick, it is supplied blended at 50% in sunflower oil to keep it pourable and easy to measure. This avoids the need for heating and makes formulation more straightforward.

For most formulation work, preparing a further working dilution of around 1% in perfumer’s alcohol or a suitable carrier oil allows precise dosing in blends.

Dilution Guidance for Mimosa Absolute Oil 50% in Sunflower Oil

Although supplied blended, Mimosa Absolute Oil remains a strong aromatic material and should be used at low levels.

Typical usage ranges, based on the 50% blend, are:

Perfumery and aromatic blends: up to 1%
Cosmetic products such as creams, oils and balms: 0.05–0.3%
Candles and soaps: usually below 1%, depending on the formulation

This material is not used neat on the skin. Patch testing is required before skin application.
