Cognac essential oil (Vitis vinifera) is steam distilled and produced from the wine precipitate known as “lees” from grapes used to produce cognac (brandy). In Germany, cognac oil is also known as ‘Wine Lees Oil’ or ‘Weinhefeoel.’ Cognac essential oil has a strong dry, tart, wine-like aroma and is used as a base in fragrances. There are two different cognac essential oils: white cognac and green cognac. Green cognac is similar to white cognac in aroma and effect, but it has a beautiful light green color and is a little more tart. They both provide lift and help change certain notes in perfume blends. Cognac is highly recommended for natural perfumers and tiny amounts of the essential oil have been used in perfumes and flavors to give “lift” and impart a fresh, fruity natural note to fragrances, after-shave, and colognes.
At Hothouse Botanicals, we use green cognac essential oil in our Mimosa Body Butter, combined with lime and orange essential oil. It creates an effervescent orange and champagne aroma, that smells just like a mimosa cocktail.

One of the top questions we get asked by our customers is, “Do you use parabens in your products?” The answer is no, we do not. I founded Hothouse Botanicals in 2007 because I wanted to create a line of bath and body products that are free of harmful preservatives, toxic ingredients, and synthetic fragrances/perfumes and colors. My mother and aunt had recently survived breast cancer and our family was examining things that could possibly have contributed to the disease. While we will never know for certain what caused their cancer, there are steps that we can take in our lives to be healthier and one of those steps is buying natural and organic bath and body products. At Hothouse Botanicals, we use a completely natural preservative in our body butters — grapefruit seed extract.
Grapefruit seed extract has great anti-bacterial and preservative qualities. It is extracted from organically grown grapefruit (Citrus paridisi). Our grapefruit seed extract is made in the U.S. and has marvelous stabilizing properties.
All of our other products do not require a preservative, so they are preservative-free. Those products have a shelf-life of between 6-12 months.
