Essential Oils
Our pure essential oils are extracted from plants, often from their leaves, roots, bark, or flowers, using gentle steam distillation or cold pressing. Each oil captures the essence of its botanical source, offering a natural aroma and character that reflect the purity of nature.
Absolute Oils
Unlike essential oils, absolutes are produced through solvent extraction or the traditional method known as enfleurage. This process creates a highly concentrated aromatic oil that mirrors the true fragrance of the plant. Absolute oils are prized in fine perfumery and cosmetic formulations for their richness and depth.
Fragrances
Our fragrance oils are carefully crafted using advanced extraction and blending techniques such as critical fluid and rotary vapour extraction. These blends deliver complex, long-lasting scents inspired by nature but created synthetically. Please note that fragrance oils do not offer therapeutic benefits; they are created purely for their beautiful scent. Always dilute to at least five percent before applying on body.
Carrier Oils
Derived from the seeds, kernels or nuts of plants these oils are named after their ability to "carry" essential oils. As the application of essential oils directly to the skin can cause irritation, they are frequently diluted into a carrier oils and the applied to the skin. Carrier oils are also moisturising in their own right.
The term carrier oil is mainly used with regards to aromatherapy, outside of aromatherapy they are referred to as vegetable oils, or base oils.
Floral Waters
Our floral waters are either Hydrosols or Hydrolates. Both are aromatic waters connected to the essential oil distillation process.
Hydrosols are created by combining water with the water-soluble components of essential oils, resulting in a gentle, subtle aroma similar to that of the plant itself.
Hydrolates are naturally produced during steam distillation. After the essential oil is separated, the remaining fragrant water becomes the hydrolate.
Quality Assurance
Each batch is carefully analysed and tested to ensure it meets our strict quality standards. Every bottle of oil can be traced back to its production and bottling record.
Our suppliers use advanced analytical equipment, including gas chromatography and mass spectrometry, to verify the purity and composition of each oil and fragrance.
