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 Fragrance Oil
Almond Fragrance Oil is a synthetic or naturally blended aromatic compound designed to replicate the warm, sweet, and nutty scent of almonds. It may incorporate notes of marzipan, vanilla, or cherry-like tones to mimic the characteristic aroma of bitter almonds without the presence of cyanogenic compounds. Unlike essential oils, fragrance oils are created for consistent aroma performance and are widely used across cosmetics, personal care, household products, and scented formulations.
This versatile oil delivers a nostalgic, comforting scent often associated with desserts, cleanliness, and warmth. It is valued for its stability in soaps, lotions, candles, and air care products. Almond Fragrance Oil is typically formulated to be allergen-compliant and IFRA-certified for safe use across applications.
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.
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.
Cajaput Oil
Cajaput Oil is a clear, penetrating essential oil obtained via steam distillation of the fresh leaves and twigs of the Melaleuca cajuputi or Melaleuca leucadendra tree, primarily native to Southeast Asia. With its strong, camphoraceous, and slightly fruity aroma, Cajeput Oil is known for its powerful antiseptic, analgesic, and expectorant properties. Rich in 1,8-cineole (eucalyptol), this oil has been traditionally used in topical rubs, respiratory blends, and muscle-relieving formulations.
Cajeput Oil is widely used in cosmetics, personal care, aromatherapy, and natural medicine products for its invigorating and purifying effects on both skin and the respiratory system. It is often compared to tea tree and eucalyptus oils due to its similar therapeutic actions.
Calendula Oil Infused
Calendula Oil Infused is a golden-yellow carrier oil produced by macerating the dried flower petals of Calendula officinalis (commonly known as pot marigold) in a base oil, typically sunflower, olive, or sweet almond oil. This infusion draws out the calendula flower’s active constituents—including flavonoids, triterpenoids, and carotenoids—resulting in a gentle yet potent botanical oil widely used for its anti-inflammatory, healing, and skin-soothing properties.
Renowned in traditional herbalism and modern natural skincare, Calendula Infused Oil is especially valued for treating sensitive, damaged, or irritated skin. It’s a go-to oil in formulations for baby care, wound healing, and after-sun products. Unlike essential oils, this is not a distilled product and is safe for direct application to the skin.
Capaiba Balsam Oil
Capaiba Balsam Oil is a natural oleoresin essential oil extracted from the trunks of Copaifera species, primarily Copaifera officinalis, native to South America. This oil is obtained via tapping or sustainable extraction methods and is prized for its anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antioxidant, and analgesic properties. It has a sweet, woody, slightly balsamic aroma and is golden to light brown in color with a medium viscosity.
Copaiba Balsam Oil is rich in β-caryophyllene, a sesquiterpene known for its therapeutic effects, especially in skincare and wellness applications. It is widely used in cosmetics, personal care, aromatherapy, and pharmaceutical preparations, particularly those targeting pain, skin health, and inflammation.
Catnip Oil
Catnip Oil is a highly aromatic essential oil steam-distilled from the leaves and flowering tops of Nepeta cataria, a herbaceous plant from the mint family. Known for its characteristic minty, herbaceous, and slightly sweet scent, Catnip Oil contains nepetalactone, a compound recognized for its insect-repellent and calming properties. Though commonly associated with its euphoric effects on cats, Catnip Oil is widely used in aromatherapy, natural insect repellents, and personal care products for humans. It also finds niche applications in pet care formulations and herbal preparations.
