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.

Menthol Crystals are natural organic compounds derived from peppermint or other mint oils, presenting as clear or white crystalline solids with a strong, cooling mint aroma. They possess analgesic, antiseptic, and flavoring properties. Widely used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food, and personal care products, menthol crystals provide a refreshing cooling sensation and fragrance, enhancing product efficacy and consumer appeal.
Methyl Paraben
Methyl Paraben is a white to off-white crystalline powder widely used as an antimicrobial preservative in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food products. It is a member of the paraben family of preservatives known for their effectiveness against a broad spectrum of bacteria and fungi. Methyl Paraben helps extend the shelf life of products by preventing microbial growth without affecting the product's texture or color.
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.
Polysorbates
Polysorbates are a class of nonionic surfactants derived from sorbitol and fatty acids, commonly used as emulsifiers, solubilizers, and dispersing agents in a wide range of industries. They improve the mixing of oil and water phases, stabilize emulsions, and enhance the texture and consistency of formulations. Polysorbates are widely used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food products, and industrial applications due to their biocompatibility, low toxicity, and effectiveness at low concentrations.
Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA)
Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) is a synthetic, water-soluble polymer made by the hydrolysis of polyvinyl acetate. It is known for excellent film-forming, emulsifying, and adhesive properties. PVA is widely used across industries for applications requiring biodegradable, non-toxic, and flexible materials. It offers good chemical resistance, mechanical strength, and compatibility with other polymers and additives.
Propyl Paraben Sodium BP
 Propyl Paraben Sodium is the sodium salt derivative of propyl paraben, widely used as an effective antimicrobial preservative. It offers improved water solubility compared to propyl paraben and is commonly employed in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food products to inhibit the growth of bacteria, molds, and yeasts, thereby extending shelf life and ensuring product safety.
