Absinth Oil
Absinth Oil, also known as Wormwood Essential Oil, is a highly aromatic essential oil extracted through steam distillation from the leaves and flowering tops of the Artemisia absinthium plant. Native to Europe and Asia and known historically for its use in absinthe liqueur, this oil features a sharp, bitter, herbaceous aroma with a green and slightly medicinal edge. 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.
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.
Basil sweet oil
Basil Sweet Oil is a high-quality essential oil extracted via steam distillation from the leaves and flowering tops of the Ocimum basilicum plant, known as Sweet Basil. This chemotype is rich in linalool and low in estragole, making it gentler and more suitable for topical use than other basil varieties. With a fresh, sweet, herbaceous, and slightly floral aroma, Basil Sweet Oil is highly valued in cosmetics, personal care, aromatherapy, and natural wellness formulations.
This essential oil is known for its clarifying, uplifting, and antiseptic properties. It supports mental clarity, soothes muscular tension, and offers anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial benefits for skin and scalp. Basil Sweet Oil is especially preferred in formulations targeting sensitive skin and emotional well-being.
Cabreuva Oil
Cabreuva Oil is a gentle, sweet, woody-scented essential oil obtained via steam distillation of the wood of the Myrocarpus fastigiatus tree, native to South America. This light amber oil is known for its high content of nerolidol—a sesquiterpene alcohol with soothing, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties. With its mild, balsamic aroma and skin-calming effects, Cabreuva Oil is primarily used in cosmetics, perfumery, and aromatherapy applications.
It blends well with floral, citrus, and resinous oils, making it a versatile fixative in natural fragrance formulations. In personal care, it is valued for its skin-healing and regenerating effects, suitable for mature and sensitive skin types.
Cajaput Oil

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.
