Calcium Carbonate Uncoated
Calcium Carbonate Uncoated is a naturally occurring mineral compound composed primarily of calcium, carbon, and oxygen with the chemical formula CaCO₃. It appears as a fine white powder or granules, widely used as a filler, pigment, and functional additive across various industries. The uncoated form means the calcium carbonate particles are not surface-treated, retaining their natural properties. It is valued for its high brightness, whiteness, and excellent compressibility. Uncoated calcium carbonate is used to enhance opacity, improve processing, and reduce costs in plastics, paints, coatings, adhesives, rubber, paper, and construction materials.
Cape Chestnut Seed Oil
Cape Chestnut Seed Oil, also known as Yangu Oil, is a cold-pressed oil extracted from the seeds of the Cape Chestnut tree (Calodendrum capense), native to Southern Africa. It is prized in skincare for its non-comedogenic, UV-protective, and antioxidant-rich profile. With a light to medium texture and a mild, nutty aroma, the oil absorbs easily into the skin without clogging pores.
Rich in essential fatty acids, especially linoleic and oleic acid, as well as natural sun-protective compounds and polyphenols, Cape Chestnut Seed Oil is especially beneficial for sensitive, dry, or UV-exposed skin. It is commonly used in cosmetic formulations, hair care products, and aromatherapeutic applications for its protective and nourishing properties.
Corn Oil
Corn Oil is a versatile, plant-based oil extracted from the germ of corn kernels (Zea mays) through mechanical pressing and solvent extraction, followed by refining. It is light yellow in color with a mild, neutral scent and a high smoke point, making it suitable for culinary, industrial, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical applications. Rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, especially linoleic acid, and vitamin E, corn oil is valued for its emollient, antioxidant, and cholesterol-lowering properties.
Commonly used as a cooking and frying oil, it is also widely incorporated into margarine, salad dressings, and processed foods. In cosmetics, it functions as a skin-conditioning agent and emollient. Corn oil further finds use in pharmaceutical formulations, biofuel production, and industrial lubricants.
Fatty Acid
Fatty acids are a group of carboxylic acids consisting of long aliphatic chains, which can be either saturated or unsaturated. They are typically derived from natural fats and oils through hydrolysis or saponification and appear as colorless to pale yellow liquids or solids depending on the chain length and degree of saturation. Fatty acids are fundamental building blocks in biochemistry and industrial chemistry, serving as raw materials in the manufacture of soaps, detergents, lubricants, cosmetics, plastics, and food additives. Their amphiphilic nature—containing both hydrophilic (carboxyl group) and hydrophobic (alkyl chain) components—makes them versatile for various chemical and industrial applications.
Iodised Salt
Iodised Salt is table salt (sodium chloride) fortified with a small, controlled amount of iodine, typically in the form of potassium iodate or potassium iodide. It appears as fine white crystalline granules, odorless, and with a characteristic salty taste. The addition of iodine helps prevent iodine deficiency disorders (IDD) such as goiter, mental impairment, and developmental abnormalities. Iodised Salt is widely used in households, food processing, and animal nutrition to ensure adequate dietary iodine intake.
