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.
Allspice Pimento berry oil
Allspice Pimento Berry Oil is a warm, spicy-sweet essential oil steam-distilled from the dried berries of the Pimenta dioica plant, native to the Caribbean and Central America. Known for its rich, clove-like aroma with hints of cinnamon, nutmeg, and pepper, the oil derives its name from its resemblance to a blend of “all spices.” It contains high concentrations of eugenol and other phenolic compounds, lending it powerful antiseptic, analgesic, and aromatic properties.
Widely used in personal care, massage oils, pharmaceutical balms, and perfumery, Allspice Oil is prized for its warming and comforting scent as well as its therapeutic action. It also finds applications in culinary essence formulations, natural insect repellents, and wellness therapies.
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.
