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.
Agarwood oil
Agarwood Oil, also known as Oudh Oil, is a rare and luxurious essential oil derived from the heartwood of the Aquilaria tree, primarily found in Southeast Asia. This dark, viscous oil is extracted through steam distillation of infected wood—formed when the tree produces a dark, aromatic resin in response to fungal attack. The resulting oil is one of the most precious and complex natural fragrances in the world, known for its deep, woody, smoky, and slightly sweet aroma.
Agarwood Oil is widely revered in perfumery, spiritual rituals, and traditional medicine. Its rich olfactory profile and fixative qualities make it an indispensable ingredient in high-end perfumes and incense. Additionally, it is used in skin care, wellness therapies, and emotional balancing practices due to its grounding, calming, and meditative effects. Agarwood Oil is produced in extremely limited quantities, which adds to its exclusivity and value.
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.
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.
Michelia Flower oil
Michelia Flower Oil is an essential oil extracted through steam distillation or solvent extraction from the flowers of Michelia species (e.g., Michelia champaca, Michelia alba). Known for its rich, floral, and slightly fruity aroma, it is widely used in perfumery, aromatherapy, and traditional medicine. The oil is prized for its therapeutic properties and as a natural fragrance ingredient.
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.
