Rich in benzoic acid, cinnamic acid, and vanillin, it exhibits antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and skin-protective activity.

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.
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.
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.
Blue Tansy Oil
Blue Tansy Oil is a rare and highly sought-after essential oil obtained via steam distillation of the flowers of Tanacetum annuum, a Moroccan chamomile species. Known for its deep indigo-blue color and distinctive sweet, herbaceous aroma with subtle fruity undertones, this oil is rich in chamazulene — a powerful anti-inflammatory compound that gives it its characteristic blue hue.
Blue Tansy Oil is celebrated in the cosmetic and personal care industry for its calming, soothing, and skin-balancing effects. It is especially beneficial in formulations for sensitive, irritated, or inflamed skin. In aromatherapy, it is valued for promoting relaxation and emotional ease. Its rarity and potency make it a premium choice for high-end skincare, therapeutic blends, and luxury personal care products.
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.
Cassia Oil
Cassia Oil is a potent essential oil steam-distilled from the bark of Cinnamomum cassia, commonly known as Chinese cinnamon. It carries a strong, spicy, and warm aroma similar to true cinnamon but is more pungent and intense. Its reddish-brown to yellow appearance and high cinnamaldehyde content give it powerful antimicrobial, antifungal, and warming properties. Cassia Oil is used across various industries including food flavoring, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, aromatherapy, and household products. Due to its strength, it is typically used in diluted concentrations.
Ethylvanillin
Ethylvanillin (3-Ethoxy-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde) is a synthetic aromatic aldehyde widely used as a flavoring agent and fragrance ingredient. It is a white to pale yellow crystalline powder with a strong, sweet vanilla-like odor, but more intense than natural vanillin. Ethylvanillin offers excellent flavor stability, solubility in alcohol and oils, and is valued for its enhanced vanilla aroma in food, beverage, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical formulations. Due to its potent scent and flavor profile, it is a preferred substitute or complement to natural vanilla extract.
