Sunflower Oil is a versatile vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of Helianthus annuus, native to North America but now cultivated globally. It is commonly obtained through cold pressing or refining and is valued for its light texture, neutral scent, and high content of essential fatty acids—particularly linoleic and oleic acids—as well as natural tocopherols (vitamin E). With excellent antioxidant, emollient, and anti-inflammatory properties, Sunflower Oil is widely used in food products, skincare formulations, hair care, massage therapies, and pharmaceutical preparations. Its ability to nourish and protect the skin barrier makes it a key ingredient across both wellness and industrial markets.

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.
Ajowan oil
Ajowan Oil, also known as Ajwain Oil or Trachyspermum Ammi Oil, is an essential oil obtained by steam distillation of the seeds of the Trachyspermum ammi plant. With a strong, pungent, thyme-like aroma, Ajowan Oil is rich in thymol—a powerful compound known for its antiseptic, antimicrobial, and digestive properties. Traditionally used in Ayurvedic and Unani medicine, Ajowan Oil is valued today across food preservation, pharmaceuticals, and natural personal care formulations.
This oil exhibits broad-spectrum antimicrobial effects and is widely used in therapeutic balms, oral care, digestive tonics, and antiseptic blends. It also finds applications in fragrance formulations that benefit from its spicy, herbal character. Its potent biological activity makes it effective in natural pest control and disinfectant preparations.
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 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.
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.
Methyl Salicylate BP
Methyl Salicylate BP is a clear, colorless to pale yellow oily liquid with a characteristic strong, sweet, and minty odor. It is an organic ester commonly used for its analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and flavoring properties. Methyl Salicylate is widely used in pharmaceutical preparations, topical pain relief products, cosmetics, and as a fragrance ingredient.
Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA)
Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) is a synthetic, water-soluble polymer made by the hydrolysis of polyvinyl acetate. It is known for excellent film-forming, emulsifying, and adhesive properties. PVA is widely used across industries for applications requiring biodegradable, non-toxic, and flexible materials. It offers good chemical resistance, mechanical strength, and compatibility with other polymers and additives.
