Abis Sibirica Oil
Abies Sibirica Oil, commonly referred to as Siberian Fir Needle Oil, is a premium-grade essential oil obtained through steam distillation of the needles and twigs of the Abies sibirica tree, native to Siberia and parts of Northern Europe. This oil is renowned for its crisp, woody, and resinous aroma with delicate balsamic undertones. Rich in natural compounds such as bornyl acetate, alpha-pinene, and limonene, Abies Sibirica Oil exhibits powerful antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and expectorant properties.
Used traditionally in wellness therapies and natural medicine, this oil supports respiratory comfort, emotional balance, and muscle relief. In modern applications, it serves as a natural fragrance and active ingredient in cosmetics, personal care products, spa treatments, and eco-friendly cleaning solutions. Its invigorating scent and therapeutic versatility make it a staple in essential oil formulations across multiple industries.
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.
Aloe Vera oil
Aloe Vera Oil is an oil-based extract derived by infusing Aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis) leaves into a carrier oil such as coconut, soybean, or sunflower oil. It captures the beneficial compounds of aloe—including polysaccharides, vitamins, enzymes, and amino acids—in an oil-soluble form ideal for cosmetic, therapeutic, and personal care applications. Known for its soothing, anti-inflammatory, and moisturizing properties, Aloe Vera Oil is widely used in skin and hair care formulations.
This gentle, skin-friendly oil is suitable for sensitive skin and is commonly employed in after-sun products, healing ointments, massage oils, and anti-aging creams. It provides hydration, calms irritation, and promotes skin regeneration while adding emollient and conditioning benefits.
Methylene Glycol
Product Description
Methylene Glycol is a chemical compound formed by the reversible reaction of formaldehyde with water. It exists in equilibrium with formaldehyde in aqueous solutions and is commonly used as a disinfectant, preservative, and industrial biocide. Due to its antimicrobial properties, it is widely applied in water treatment, cosmetics, and embalming fluids.
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.
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.
