Cistus concrete, also known as Labdanum absolute or Rockrose absolute, is a natural resin extracted from various species of Cistus plants, primarily Cistus ladanifer. This resin is obtained through solvent extraction or steam distillation, resulting in a highly aromatic and viscous substance with a rich amber color.
Extraction Process
The process of extracting Cistus concrete involves meticulous care and precision. Harvesters carefully collect the resin from the leaves and stems of Cistus plants, employing traditional methods passed down through generations. Once collected, the resin undergoes extraction using solvents or steam, yielding a potent and aromatic substance prized for its therapeutic properties.
The majority of contemporary labdanum originates from Spain, specifically in the regions bordering Spain and Portugal, within Spain’s jurisdiction. Labdanum possesses an intricately layered fragrance profile, often likened to amber. In its raw state, it emits a balsamic essence with subtle hints of mustiness, complemented by woody, earthy, smoky, marshy, and occasionally honey and plum undertones. Renowned for its luxurious, sweet, and vegetal mossy scent, labdanum finds widespread use in modern perfumery, particularly for imbuing fragrances with leather or ambergris nuances.
Applications and Uses
Perfumery
In the realm of perfumery, Cistus concrete is prized for its warm, resinous aroma and fixative properties. Perfumers often incorporate it into fragrances to enhance longevity and add depth and complexity to olfactory compositions.
Skincare
Cistus concrete’s antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties make it a sought-after ingredient in skincare formulations. Its ability to promote skin regeneration and combat free radical damage has led to its inclusion in serums, creams, and facial oils designed to nourish and rejuvenate the skin.
Aromatherapy
The rich, earthy scent of Cistus concrete makes it a popular choice in aromatherapy practices. Its calming and grounding aroma is believed to alleviate stress, promote relaxation, and enhance mental clarity when used in diffusers, massage oils, or bath blends.
