Allspice Pimento berry oil
Allspice Pimento Berry Oil is a warm, spicy-sweet essential oil steam-distilled from the dried berries of the Pimenta dioica plant, native to the Caribbean and Central America. Known for its rich, clove-like aroma with hints of cinnamon, nutmeg, and pepper, the oil derives its name from its resemblance to a blend of “all spices.” It contains high concentrations of eugenol and other phenolic compounds, lending it powerful antiseptic, analgesic, and aromatic properties.
Widely used in personal care, massage oils, pharmaceutical balms, and perfumery, Allspice Oil is prized for its warming and comforting scent as well as its therapeutic action. It also finds applications in culinary essence formulations, natural insect repellents, and wellness therapies.
Almond fragrance oil
Almond Fragrance Oil is a synthetic or naturally blended aromatic compound designed to replicate the warm, sweet, and nutty scent of almonds. It may incorporate notes of marzipan, vanilla, or cherry-like tones to mimic the characteristic aroma of bitter almonds without the presence of cyanogenic compounds. Unlike essential oils, fragrance oils are created for consistent aroma performance and are widely used across cosmetics, personal care, household products, and scented formulations.
This versatile oil delivers a nostalgic, comforting scent often associated with desserts, cleanliness, and warmth. It is valued for its stability in soaps, lotions, candles, and air care products. Almond Fragrance Oil is typically formulated to be allergen-compliant and IFRA-certified for safe use across applications.
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.
