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.
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 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.
Cajaput Oil
Cajaput Oil is a clear, penetrating essential oil obtained via steam distillation of the fresh leaves and twigs of the Melaleuca cajuputi or Melaleuca leucadendra tree, primarily native to Southeast Asia. With its strong, camphoraceous, and slightly fruity aroma, Cajeput Oil is known for its powerful antiseptic, analgesic, and expectorant properties. Rich in 1,8-cineole (eucalyptol), this oil has been traditionally used in topical rubs, respiratory blends, and muscle-relieving formulations.
Cajeput Oil is widely used in cosmetics, personal care, aromatherapy, and natural medicine products for its invigorating and purifying effects on both skin and the respiratory system. It is often compared to tea tree and eucalyptus oils due to its similar therapeutic actions.
Calamus Oil
Calamus Oil is a warm, spicy-aromatic essential oil obtained through steam distillation of the dried roots (rhizomes) of Acorus calamus, commonly known as sweet flag. This highly fragrant oil carries an earthy, woody, and slightly peppery scent with a leathery undertone. Traditionally valued in Ayurvedic and Unani medicine systems, Calamus Oil has found applications in perfumery, hair care, aromatherapy, and natural health preparations due to its stimulating, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties.
While effective in small external doses, Calamus Oil must be used with caution as it contains β-asarone, a compound restricted in internal use due to potential toxicity. It remains widely used in external formulations like massage oils, hair tonics, and perfumes.
Liquorice
Liquorice is the dried root extract of the Glycyrrhiza glabra plant, known for its distinctive sweet flavor and medicinal properties. It contains glycyrrhizin, a compound that is 30–50 times sweeter than sugar.
