Galbanum oil

Galbanum oil (CAS 8023-91-4) is a steam-distilled essential oil derived from the resin of Ferula galbaniflua. It is valued in fragrance and flavor applications for its sharp, green, woody-balsamic character.

The oil functions as a top-to-middle note modifier in perfumery and as a botanical flavoring agent in food and beverage production. In fine fragrance and prestige cosmetic formulations, it contributes a distinctive green freshness.

This ingredient is frequently associated with classic chypre and fougère accords. Flavor houses incorporate it at low use levels in savory seasonings, condiments, and processed foods where herbal or resinous complexity is required.

In personal care, it appears in eau de parfum concentrates, body care products, and functional fragrance blends targeting naturals-positioned lines. Its intensity means small additions drive significant olfactory impact.

Precise dosing is a key formulation consideration due to its high potency. Galbanum oil is supplied as a viscous to semi-viscous liquid, typically amber to yellow-green in color, ensuring consistent visual quality.

It is available in natural, cosmetic-grade, and food-grade specifications. Food-grade material conforms to FCC standards where flavor applications require specific compliance documentation for safety and quality.

Packaging is typically offered in small drums or kilogram quantities. This reflects the high potency and relatively low use rates required in finished formulations across the chemical and fragrance industries.
