Rich in thujone, chamazulene, and other bioactive compounds, Absinth Oil is known for its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and digestive-stimulating properties.
While traditionally associated with herbal medicine and ritualistic use, modern applications of Absinth Oil span personal care, pharmaceuticals, and natural pest repellents. Due to its intensity and potential toxicity in high concentrations, it is used in very controlled amounts in fragrance and therapeutic blends. It is valued for its distinctive scent and potent botanical properties, particularly in cosmetics, aromatherapy, and natural cleaning formulations.
Ajowan oil
Ajowan Oil, also known as Ajwain Oil or Trachyspermum Ammi Oil, is an essential oil obtained by steam distillation of the seeds of the Trachyspermum ammi plant. With a strong, pungent, thyme-like aroma, Ajowan Oil is rich in thymol—a powerful compound known for its antiseptic, antimicrobial, and digestive properties. Traditionally used in Ayurvedic and Unani medicine, Ajowan Oil is valued today across food preservation, pharmaceuticals, and natural personal care formulations.
This oil exhibits broad-spectrum antimicrobial effects and is widely used in therapeutic balms, oral care, digestive tonics, and antiseptic blends. It also finds applications in fragrance formulations that benefit from its spicy, herbal character. Its potent biological activity makes it effective in natural pest control and disinfectant preparations.
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 Bitter oil
Almond Bitter Oil, derived from the kernels of bitter almonds (Prunus amygdalus var. amara), is an essential oil known for its sharp, nutty, and marzipan-like aroma. This oil is produced through steam distillation of crushed bitter almond kernels and contains a naturally occurring compound called benzaldehyde, which gives it its characteristic scent. In purified form (free of hydrogen cyanide), bitter almond oil is used in fragrance, flavoring, and pharmaceutical applications.
Due to its potent aroma and biochemical properties, it is widely used in perfumery, baked goods flavoring (in controlled quantities), aromatherapy, and traditional topical remedies. It is important to distinguish between natural bitter almond oil, which must be detoxified, and synthetic benzaldehyde, which is commonly used as a substitute in commercial formulations.
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.
Menthol crystals
