Celery Leaf Oil
Celery Leaf Oil is an essential oil steam-distilled from the fresh leaves of the Apium graveolens plant. It carries a warm, spicy, herbaceous aroma with green, earthy undertones. Unlike celery seed oil, the leaf-derived oil is lighter and fresher in scent, making it suitable for more delicate aromatic blends. Known for its anti-inflammatory, diuretic, and digestive-supportive properties in traditional wellness practices, Celery Leaf Oil is increasingly used in cosmetics, aromatherapy, fragrance, and natural wellness applications. It’s also gaining popularity in functional perfumery and detoxifying skincare products.

Mono Ethanol Amine (MEA) is a clear, colorless, hygroscopic liquid with an ammonia-like odor. It is an organic chemical compound combining both amine and alcohol functional groups. MEA is widely used as a versatile chemical intermediate and is especially important in gas treatment, detergents, and chemical manufacturing due to its alkalinity and solubility in water and organic solvents.
Polyglyceryl
Polyglyceryl refers to a family of non-ionic surfactants and emulsifiers made by the polymerization of glycerol units. Depending on the number of glycerol units (e.g., Polyglyceryl-2, -3, -6, -10) and fatty acid esterification (e.g., laurate, oleate, stearate), they offer different emulsifying and solubilizing properties. These compounds are biodegradable, mild, and skin-friendly, making them ideal for use in cosmetics, food, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products. Polyglyceryl esters are often chosen in natural and organic product formulations due to their origin and non-toxic profile.
