Is this product a true essential oil extracted from lilac flowers?

It is important to understand that this product is not a classic steam-distilled essential oil. In practical terms, lilac blossoms do not yield a true essential oil in significant amounts through standard distillation methods. Instead, this Medikomed product is formulated as an aromatic cosmetic oil, which is essentially a fragrance composition or infusion within a carrier oil base. This distinction matters for your usage experience: because it is not a highly concentrated volatile oil obtained through distillation, the scent profile is generally gentler and less sharp. This makes it particularly well-suited for diluted cosmetic applications where a heavy, overpowering aroma might be undesirable. The formulation allows the sweet-floral lilac note to blend more smoothly into richer cosmetic textures, such as creams or body butters, compared to water-based fragrance solutions. Understanding this composition helps set realistic expectations for both the intensity of the scent and its behavior when mixed with other ingredients.
