Almond Butter
Almond Butter is a smooth, creamy paste made by grinding roasted or raw almonds into a nutrient-rich spread. It retains the natural oils and flavor of almonds, offering a mild, nutty aroma and rich, buttery texture. Almond Butter is packed with monounsaturated fats, protein, vitamin E, magnesium, and antioxidants, making it a highly valued ingredient in the food, nutraceutical, and personal care industries.
In cosmetics and skincare, Almond Butter is prized for its emollient properties, making it a popular base for creams, balms, and body butters. It provides skin-softening, moisturizing, and barrier-protecting benefits. In the food and beverage industry, it is used as a spread, in smoothies, baked goods, energy bars, and dairy alternatives. It is also included in specialty pet food and wellness 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.

Camelia Oil Infused
Camelia Oil Infused is a gentle, nutrient-rich botanical oil made by infusing the flowers or leaves of the Camellia sinensis or Camellia japonica plant into a carrier oil such as olive, jojoba, or sweet almond oil. Unlike cold-pressed camellia seed oil, this infusion captures a wider spectrum of antioxidant polyphenols, flavonoids, and saponins from the plant material, delivering enhanced skin and hair benefits. Known for its lightweight, non-greasy texture and rapid absorption, Camellia Infused Oil is deeply moisturizing and ideal for sensitive, dry, or aging skin.
Popular in Japanese and Korean beauty traditions, this oil is often used to promote skin elasticity, smoothness, and overall rejuvenation, making it a preferred ingredient in natural cosmetic and personal care products.

Fatty Acid
Fatty acids are a group of carboxylic acids consisting of long aliphatic chains, which can be either saturated or unsaturated. They are typically derived from natural fats and oils through hydrolysis or saponification and appear as colorless to pale yellow liquids or solids depending on the chain length and degree of saturation. Fatty acids are fundamental building blocks in biochemistry and industrial chemistry, serving as raw materials in the manufacture of soaps, detergents, lubricants, cosmetics, plastics, and food additives. Their amphiphilic nature—containing both hydrophilic (carboxyl group) and hydrophobic (alkyl chain) components—makes them versatile for various chemical and industrial applications.
Petroleum Jelly
Petroleum Jelly is a semi-solid mixture of hydrocarbons, originally derived from petroleum refining. It is odorless, colorless (or slightly yellow), and known for its moisturizing, protective, and lubricating properties. Widely used in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and industrial applications, Petroleum Jelly forms a barrier on the skin that locks in moisture and protects against irritants. The 175kg packaging is typical for bulk industrial or large-scale cosmetic use.
