Anhydrous Aluminum Chloride
Anhydrous Aluminum Chloride (AlCl₃) is a white to pale yellow crystalline solid known for its strong Lewis acid properties. It is a key catalyst widely used in organic synthesis, especially in Friedel-Crafts alkylation and acylation reactions. Due to its high reactivity with moisture, it must be stored and handled under strictly anhydrous conditions. Anhydrous Aluminum Chloride also finds applications in polymerization, pharmaceuticals, and the production of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and petrochemicals.
Benzyl Alcohol
Benzyl Alcohol is an aromatic alcohol with a mild pleasant odor and clear, colorless liquid appearance. It serves as a versatile solvent, preservative, and intermediate in chemical synthesis. Benzyl Alcohol is widely used across pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, paints, coatings, and as a bacteriostatic agent in injectable drugs. Its relatively low toxicity and good solvent properties make it valuable in both industrial and consumer products.
Cade Crude 2 Oil
Cade Crude 2 Oil is a dark, viscous essential oil obtained through destructive distillation of the wood of the Juniperus oxycedrus tree (also known as prickly juniper). Known for its intense smoky, tar-like aroma and antiseptic qualities, this crude-grade cade oil is widely used in traditional skin remedies, veterinary care, and industrial cosmetic applications—especially in products aimed at treating chronic skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, and dandruff.
While not as refined as rectified Cade oil, Cade Crude 2 Oil retains a high concentration of phenols, cresols, and other active compounds that contribute to its strong antimicrobial, antifungal, and antipruritic effects. It is used cautiously in topical formulations at low dilution levels and is valued in rustic and smoky fragrance compositions.
Chlorocresol BP
Chlorocresol BP, also known as PCMC (Para-Chlorometa-Cresol), is a white to off-white crystalline powder with a characteristic phenolic odor. It is a chlorinated phenol derivative widely used as a broad-spectrum antimicrobial preservative. It exhibits effective bactericidal and fungicidal activity, making it a preferred preservative in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and personal care products. Chlorocresol is valued for its stability, solubility in aqueous and alcoholic systems, and compatibility with various formulation types. It helps inhibit microbial growth, thereby enhancing product shelf life and safety.
Clove Bud Oil
Clove Bud Oil is a potent essential oil obtained through steam distillation of the flower buds of the Syzygium aromaticum (formerly Eugenia caryophyllata) tree. Renowned for its strong, spicy, and warm aroma, it is rich in eugenol — a powerful natural compound with significant antiseptic, analgesic, and antimicrobial properties.
Used historically in dental care, traditional medicine, and perfumery, Clove Bud Oil is now widely applied in cosmetics, oral care, food flavoring, wellness, and natural cleaning products. It is also valued in aromatherapy for its grounding and energizing effects.
Lactic Acid
Lactic Acid is a colorless to pale yellow, viscous liquid with a mild acidic odor. It is an organic acid naturally produced by fermentation and widely used in industrial, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food applications. The 80% concentration provides a balance of potency and ease of handling, making it suitable for pH adjustment, preservation, and chemical synthesis. Lactic acid is biodegradable, non-toxic, and valued for its multifunctionality including antimicrobial properties and chelation abilities.
Sodium Methyl Paraben
 Sodium Methyl Paraben is the sodium salt of methylparaben, a widely used preservative in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food. It is a white, odorless, crystalline powder that is water-soluble and effective against a broad spectrum of bacteria, molds, and yeasts. As a paraben derivative, it helps prevent microbial contamination and extends shelf life. It is often preferred over methylparaben in formulations where water solubility is required.
Zinc Pyrithione
 Zinc Pyrithione is a high-purity antimicrobial and antifungal compound derived from the coordination of zinc with pyrithione (1-hydroxy-2-pyridinethione). It is widely used as an active ingredient in personal care formulations, industrial coatings, and materials preservation due to its broad-spectrum biocidal efficacy against bacteria, fungi, and algae. Its excellent thermal stability and compatibility with various systems make it ideal for diverse industrial and cosmetic applications.
