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.
Ambrette Seed Oil
Ambrette Seed Oil is a rare, aromatic essential oil derived from the seeds of the Abelmoschus moschatus plant. Known for its rich, musky, slightly sweet, and floral scent, Ambrette Seed Oil is often considered a botanical alternative to animal-derived musk. It is widely prized in high-end perfumery, natural cosmetic formulations, and aromatherapy for its warm, sensual, and long-lasting aroma.
This oil is rich in ambrettolide and farnesol, compounds that lend it a delicate musky note without the synthetic harshness of artificial musks. Ambrette Seed Oil is non-toxic and safe for topical use when diluted, making it ideal for fine fragrances, massage oils, and therapeutic blends.
Baobab Oil
Baobab Oil is a luxurious, cold-pressed oil extracted from the seeds of the Adansonia digitata (baobab) tree, native to Africa. Rich in omega fatty acids (especially omega-3, 6, and 9), vitamins A, D, E, and F, and powerful antioxidants, Baobab Oil is prized for its deep moisturizing, skin-rejuvenating, and anti-inflammatory properties. It is a light, non-greasy oil that absorbs quickly into the skin, making it ideal for a wide range of cosmetic and personal care applications.
Baobab Oil is especially suited for dry, sensitive, or mature skin. It supports skin elasticity, improves tone, and helps reduce the appearance of scars and stretch marks. In hair care, it nourishes and protects, leaving hair soft and manageable. Its natural stability and skin compatibility make it a premium ingredient in high-performance formulations.
Methyl Salicylate BP
Methyl Salicylate BP is a clear, colorless to pale yellow oily liquid with a characteristic strong, sweet, and minty odor. It is an organic ester commonly used for its analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and flavoring properties. Methyl Salicylate is widely used in pharmaceutical preparations, topical pain relief products, cosmetics, and as a fragrance ingredient.
Polyethylene Glycol (PEG 6000)
Polyethylene Glycol 6000 (PEG 6000) is a high-molecular-weight polymer derived from ethylene oxide. It appears as a white, waxy solid or flake and is non-toxic, water-soluble, and chemically stable. PEG 6000 is widely used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food processing, industrial formulations, and biotechnology, valued for its lubricating, solubilizing, binding, and moisturizing properties. It is odorless and tasteless, making it suitable for sensitive formulations.
Polyglycerol-10-Laurate
Polyglycerol-10-Laurate is a non-ionic, biodegradable surfactant and emulsifier derived from natural lauric acid and polyglycerol (with ten glycerol units). It is known for its excellent emulsifying, dispersing, and solubilizing properties, especially in oil-in-water systems. Commonly used in cosmetics, food, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products, it is valued for being mild, non-toxic, and suitable for sensitive applications, including baby care and oral care.
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
Polyvinyl Alcohol 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.
