General Uses Top
Suggest a correction!Common products:
Essential oil is extracted from leaves by hydrodistillation; yields reported in the 0.2–1.0% range (w/w), depending on season and locality.
Industrial and craft applications:
Dried leaves are used locally as a source of natural aromatic material.
Food and beverages (non-medicinal):
No documented edible uses or food-processing applications are reported for Vitex canescens.
Colorants and tanning:
No documented dye, tannin, or ink uses are reported.
Wood and fiber:
No documented timber, pulp, fiber, or craft applications are reported.
Fragrance and cosmetics:
Leaf essential oil is used in fragrance compounding and as a source of 1,8-cineole; oil composition showscamphor and several monoterpenes (e.g., sabinene, pinenes) at lower levels. ISO 11014 (Safety Data Sheet) guidance applies to manufacturing handling.
Properties relevant to use:
Olefinic monoterpenes (1,8-cineole,camphor) contribute volatility and characteristic aroma; essential oil is obtained via hydrodistillation of leaf biomass.
Standards and regulation:
Leaf oil is not subject to specific ISO fragrance-quality standards; industrial handling follows general SDS requirements (ISO 11014) and local cosmetics regulations (e.g., EU Cosmetic Regulation 1223/2009; IFRA Code of Practice). No specific timber or dye standards apply in the absence of documented wood or colorant uses.
Sustainability and sourcing:
Leaf oil is produced from wild-harvested leaf material; sustainable harvesting and proper species identification are recommended to avoid confusion with related Vitex taxa.
