Oils & Natural Extracts
Essential Oils
Concentrated aromatic oils recovered from herbs, spices, citrus peel and other botanical material, where a small addition carries the whole aroma or flavour effect. They are bought by flavour and fragrance houses, beverage and confectionery formulators, seasoning blenders and personal-care manufacturers working to their own formulations.

About Essential Oils
Most of these oils are separated by distillation of the plant material, while citrus oils are typically pressed from the peel; the route taken shapes the aroma profile more than any other single factor. Because the volatile fraction is what is being sold, the oils are sensitive to heat, light and air, and are handled and held with that in mind.
Supply is in opaque or amber containers filled to limit headspace, closed tight and kept out of direct light and warmth. Buyers usually assess an oil by nose and by its constituent profile before committing, so we work from a sample against your reference rather than a catalogue description. Quantity, container type and any private-label filling are settled per order.

Frequently asked
Which botanicals can you offer?
Send us the oils on your list rather than asking what we stock. We source against a named botanical and a named aroma reference, and we would rather tell you plainly where we can and cannot match it.
What specification will I receive?
Specifications and a Certificate of Analysis, including the constituent profile, are confirmed per order for the lot supplied. We do not publish figures in advance, because a natural oil varies with the crop and the distillation.
Can I evaluate a sample before ordering?
Yes, and we recommend it. Essential oils are usually accepted or rejected on nose against a buyer's own reference standard, so an evaluation sample settles the question faster than any written description.
How should these be stored?
Keep them in their original sealed containers, out of direct light, away from heat, and with as little headspace as practical. Decant into clean, tightly closed containers and reseal immediately after drawing.
