Main Chemical Composition and Ingredients

Deep Blue brings together a synergy of eight CPTG (Certified Pure Tested Grade) essential oils that interact to create its unique profile and characteristic effects. The main components of this blend are:

• Wintergreen: Rich in methyl salicylate, known for its comforting properties.


• Camphor: Provides a penetrating sensation.


• Peppermint: Contributes with its revitalizing effect.


• Ylang Ylang: Adds a floral nuance that complements the minty aromas.


• Helichrysum: Valued for its holistic and soothing effects.


• Blue Tansy: Known for its color and for its components that provide skin comfort.


• Blue Chamomile: Provides calming properties and a soft aroma.


• Osmanthus: Imparts a sweet and fruity note that harmonizes the blend.

The combination of these oils creates a complex chemical profile where esters, ketones, and monoterpenes work together for a synergistic effect.

Aromatic and Sensory Profile

The aroma of Deep Blue is complex and multifaceted, dominated by fresh, minty, and camphoraceous notes, with subtle floral and herbaceous touches that give it depth. When applied topically, an initial sensation of coolness is experienced, which may evolve into a gentle, comforting warmth. This sensory profile makes it ideal for massages where relief and restoration of well-being are sought.

Aromatic Qualities:

• Cooling: Thanks to peppermint and camphor.


• Penetrating: The aroma directly engages the senses.


• Herbaceous: Subtle notes from the plant components.


• Sweet/Floral: Provided by Ylang Ylang, Blue Chamomile, and Osmanthus, softening its intensity.
