Bronopol
Bronopol (2-Bromo-2-nitropropane-1,3-diol) is a water-soluble, white crystalline powder or granules with a slight odor. It is a synthetic antimicrobial agent widely used as a preservative in personal care products, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and industrial applications. Bronopol exhibits broad-spectrum bactericidal and fungicidal activity, making it effective against a wide range of microorganisms. It works by releasing active formaldehyde slowly, which disrupts microbial metabolism and reproduction.
cinnamon bark oil
Cinnamon Bark Oil is a potent essential oil obtained by steam distillation of the inner bark of the Cinnamomum verum (also known as Cinnamomum zeylanicum) tree, native to Sri Lanka and parts of Southeast Asia. This oil possesses a warm, spicy, and sweet aroma with a rich, woody undertone, and is prized for its high cinnamaldehyde content.
Renowned for its strong antimicrobial, antifungal, and antioxidant properties, Cinnamon Bark Oil has been used traditionally in natural medicine, culinary applications, and perfumery. It is frequently found in formulations aimed at immune support, pain relief, and emotional stimulation. In modern industries, it serves as a natural flavoring agent, a powerful aromatherapeutic component, and a natural preservative in cosmetics and personal care.
Cinnamon Leaf oil
Cinnamon Leaf Oil is an essential oil obtained by steam distillation of the leaves of the Cinnamomum zeylanicum or Cinnamomum verum tree. It has a warm, spicy, and slightly sweet aroma, distinct from cinnamon bark oil, with high levels of eugenol. This oil is prized for its antimicrobial, antioxidant, and analgesic properties. It is widely used in perfumery, aromatherapy, personal care, and natural medicine.
Used traditionally for respiratory relief, oral health, and topical analgesia, cinnamon leaf oil is now integrated into natural formulations for skincare, oral hygiene, massage, and household cleaning products. Its invigorating scent and therapeutic versatility make it valuable across cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and cleaning industries.
Dill Herb oil
Dill Herb Oil is a steam-distilled essential oil extracted from the fresh or partially dried herbaceous parts of the Anethum graveolens plant, commonly known as dill. Unlike dill seed oil, which is distilled from the seeds, dill herb oil has a lighter, fresher, and slightly grassy aroma with a faint sweetness and subtle spicy undertones. It is valued for its carminative, digestive, antispasmodic, antimicrobial, and calming properties.
This oil is traditionally used in digestive remedies, culinary formulations, aromatherapy blends, and topical preparations. It’s a common ingredient in natural health products, skincare, and child-friendly wellness products due to its mildness and effectiveness. Dill herb oil is also employed in food and beverage applications and niche perfumery for its green, aromatic character.
EDTA Disodium Salt
EDTA Disodium Salt (Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt) is a widely used chelating agent that binds metal ions to form stable complexes. It effectively sequesters divalent and trivalent metal ions such as calcium, magnesium, iron, and heavy metals, preventing their participation in unwanted chemical reactions. This property makes it essential in a wide range of industrial, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, agricultural, and water treatment applications. The disodium salt form offers excellent water solubility and is often used in neutral to slightly alkaline systems.
EDTA Tetrasodium Salt
EDTA Tetrasodium Salt (Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid tetrasodium salt) is a highly water-soluble chelating agent widely used to bind and sequester metal ions such as calcium, magnesium, iron, and heavy metals. It is the fully neutralized, alkaline form of EDTA, typically supplied as a white granular or powder form. This salt exhibits excellent chelating efficiency at neutral to alkaline pH levels, making it a critical additive in numerous industrial, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, agricultural, and water treatment applications. Its ability to prevent metal-induced degradation and enhance formulation stability makes it invaluable in many sectors.
Lactic Acid
Lactic Acid is a colorless to pale yellow, viscous liquid with a mild acidic odor. It is an organic acid naturally produced by fermentation and widely used in industrial, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food applications. The 80% concentration provides a balance of potency and ease of handling, making it suitable for pH adjustment, preservation, and chemical synthesis. Lactic acid is biodegradable, non-toxic, and valued for its multifunctionality including antimicrobial properties and chelation abilities.
Sodium Propyl Paraben
Sodium Propyl Paraben is the sodium salt of propylparaben, a white to off-white crystalline powder or granule with the chemical formula C₁₀H₁₂NaO₃. It is a water-soluble antimicrobial preservative used extensively in personal care, pharmaceutical, and food products. Packaged in 25kg containers, it offers excellent stability and effectiveness over a wide pH range.
