According to IDH Transforming Markets, “ …the international vanilla bean market has faced challenges of falling quality, price volatility and insufficient product traceability.” While vanilla can be unsustainably produced and harvested, we make sure our vanilla planifolia fruit extract is sustainably farmed and prioritize the livelihood of farmers. Üazú Skincare ensures our ingredients are traceable and responsibly attained, especially during a time of large demand.

Both vanilla extract and vanilla planifolia fruit extract come from the same orchid: Vanilla planifolia. The yellowish-white flower grows from vines that climb objects surrounding it. The plant is native to South and Central America, but is now a rare find in the wild.

The Future of Vanilla in Skincare

There is a great demand for vanilla in both the culinary and skincare worlds, causing prices to increase and sustainability to decrease. As over-harvesting continues to be a concern, responsible sourcing is key to the future of vanilla. With the growing demand for clean, conscious beauty, more companies are turning to fair-trade and sustainable farming options to ensure vanilla’s long-term availability and growth in the communities that produce it. At Üazú Skincare, we source our vanilla sustainably, ensuring our products protect vanilla’s production, the safety of the producers, and your skin. 

Because of its natural aroma

As you probably know, natural vanilla is a warm, subtle scent. This comforting fragrance is derived from vanilla fruit , vanilla’s aromatic compound, that also contributes to its many other topical benefits. Because of its natural aroma, Üazú Skincare uses vanilla scent to enhance your skincare experience instead of harsher scents that can be damaging to your skin. 

Vanilla Extract:

  • Vanilla Extract: Vanilla extract is primarily used for food and beverages, made by soaking vanilla beans in alcohol and water for an extended period of time. Because of these harsher additives, vanilla extract is typically unsuitable for skincare.

Vanilla Planifolia Fruit Extract:

Vanilla Planifolia Fruit Extract: Instead of soaking just the beans, vanilla planifolia fruit extract is typically extracted using oils or other natural compounds. This method retains many of the beneficial components of the plant while still being gentle for the skin.
