Its history is steeped in ancient trade routes, primarily the Silk Road, which helped spread it across continents. It gained prominence in Europe during the 1600s, serving as a popular breath freshener.

Ginger Essential Oil
Sourced from Madagascar, Ginger essential oil is derived from the fresh rhizome of the ginger plant—the subterranean stalk of a plant that shoots out the root system. A featured ingredient in many Asian dishes, ginger has a hot, fragrant flavor when used as a kitchen spice. In Western tradition, ginger is most often used in sweets—gingerbread and ginger snaps being two examples. Ginger essential oil can be applied topically or inhaled for a soothing aroma.

Ylang Ylang oil creates a calm, positive atmosphere. It’s frequently used in luxurious personal care products for its enchanting aroma and nourishing properties.
Frankincense Essential Oil
Frankincense has been a highly valued commodity for millennia, dating back to ancient civilizations like Babylon and Assyria. The precious resin is the oldest global supply chain. Babylonians and Assyrians would burn it in religious ceremonies and for contemplative meditation. The ancient Egyptians used it in perfumes and soothing skin salves. Oil from the resin has long been used in Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese wellness practices.
Frankincense essential oil comes from the resin of the frankincense tree. Harvesters make shallow cuts in the bark, from which resin seeps out. The resin is left for two weeks to crystallize, then it’s scraped off the tree. This process repeats over multiple weeks throughout the harvesting season. Resin tears are carefully cleaned and organized by size and color by harvesters before distillation.
Lemongrass Essential Oil
Lemongrass essential oil is sourced from a tall, perennial plant that grows in stalks. Native to tropical regions, lemongrass is known for its herbal, citrusy aroma and is popular in various cuisines.
Lemongrass essential oil can tone and cleanse the skin and scalp when incorporated into a hair- or skincare routine. It’s also an ideal addition to a post-workout massage.
Tonka Bean Absolute
Tonka bean, known scientifically as Dipteryx odorata, is a highly esteemed ingredient native to Central America and northern South America.
The name tonka bean comes from the Galibi (Carib) language spoken by the natives of French Guiana. Related to the pea family, tonka beans are almond-shaped, featuring a black and wrinkled exterior with a smooth brown interior.
Commonly used in perfumery, tonka beans are celebrated for their rich aroma that’s reminiscent of vanilla, almonds, cinnamon, and cloves.
Vanilla Absolute
A perennial climbing vine that grows up to 75 feet long, Vanilla planifolia is a member of the orchid family, with yellow-white flowers that produce odorless bean pods. These blooms must be hand-pollinated, and it takes three to four years for the plant to begin producing beans. The beans are also harvested by hand before undergoing a time-consuming, labor-intensive process to fully develop their aroma and flavor.
Afterward, the beans are ground into small pieces and subjected to pressurized CO2 in a two-step extraction process that captures the beans’ aromatic constituents in Vanilla essential oil.
Of the real vanilla available in the world, 80% comes from Madagascar, which has the perfect tropical climate for the spice to thrive. In Madagascar, thousands of people—mostly families—are employed in the vanilla supply chain. The harvest is a crucial source of employment for rural communities and an integral part of the local economy, contributing to the livelihoods of almost 80,000 farmers.
