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.
Basil Exotic oil
Basil Exotic Oil is a steam-distilled essential oil extracted from the leaves of the Ocimum basilicum plant, specifically cultivated for its high linalool and methyl chavicol (estragole) content. Known for its sweet, herbaceous, and slightly spicy aroma, Basil Exotic Oil offers powerful aromatic and therapeutic properties. It is widely used in perfumery, cosmetics, personal care products, and aromatherapy for its stimulating, clarifying, and refreshing effects.
The oil’s high potency and distinctive scent make it a preferred choice in high-end fragrances, hair care products, and massage blends. It is also appreciated for its antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory characteristics, making it valuable in natural wellness and skincare formulations.
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.
Camphor White Oil
Camphor White Oil is a steam-distilled essential oil obtained from the wood of the Camphor tree (Cinnamomum camphora), primarily from the white fraction, which is rich in 1,8-cineole, camphor, and linalool. This fraction is the most commonly used in aromatherapy and topical preparations due to its potent but relatively balanced composition compared to brown or yellow fractions. The oil has a sharp, penetrating aroma with a cooling, medicinal character.
Traditionally used in topical pain relief, respiratory care, and soothing balms, Camphor White Oil is known for its anti-inflammatory, decongestant, antiseptic, and stimulating effects. It is widely used in cosmetics, personal care, pharmaceuticals, and aromatherapy formulations.
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.
Menthol crystals
Menthol Crystals are natural organic compounds derived from peppermint or other mint oils, presenting as clear or white crystalline solids with a strong, cooling mint aroma. They possess analgesic, antiseptic, and flavoring properties. Widely used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food, and personal care products, menthol crystals provide a refreshing cooling sensation and fragrance, enhancing product efficacy and consumer appeal.
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.
