Almond Wax
Almond Wax is a natural, plant-based wax derived from the hydrogenation of almond oil (Prunus amygdalus dulcis). It is a creamy to white, semi-solid wax with a mild, nutty scent and excellent emollient properties. Almond Wax is rich in fatty acids and has a smooth, soft texture, making it ideal for use in cosmetic, personal care, and candle formulations.
Due to its gentle consistency, skin-friendly profile, and moisturizing capabilities, Almond Wax is widely used in body butters, balms, lip care products, massage bars, and artisan soaps. It functions as a natural alternative to petroleum-based waxes and provides structure, viscosity, and glide to formulations. It also finds application in soft wax blends for natural candle products.
Blue Tansy Oil
Blue Tansy Oil is a rare and highly sought-after essential oil obtained via steam distillation of the flowers of Tanacetum annuum, a Moroccan chamomile species. Known for its deep indigo-blue color and distinctive sweet, herbaceous aroma with subtle fruity undertones, this oil is rich in chamazulene — a powerful anti-inflammatory compound that gives it its characteristic blue hue.
Blue Tansy Oil is celebrated in the cosmetic and personal care industry for its calming, soothing, and skin-balancing effects. It is especially beneficial in formulations for sensitive, irritated, or inflamed skin. In aromatherapy, it is valued for promoting relaxation and emotional ease. Its rarity and potency make it a premium choice for high-end skincare, therapeutic blends, and luxury personal care products.
Calendula Oil Infused
Calendula Oil Infused is a golden-yellow carrier oil produced by macerating the dried flower petals of Calendula officinalis (commonly known as pot marigold) in a base oil, typically sunflower, olive, or sweet almond oil. This infusion draws out the calendula flower’s active constituents—including flavonoids, triterpenoids, and carotenoids—resulting in a gentle yet potent botanical oil widely used for its anti-inflammatory, healing, and skin-soothing properties.
Renowned in traditional herbalism and modern natural skincare, Calendula Infused Oil is especially valued for treating sensitive, damaged, or irritated skin. It’s a go-to oil in formulations for baby care, wound healing, and after-sun products. Unlike essential oils, this is not a distilled product and is safe for direct application to the skin.
