Natural Fragrances

“A fragrant smell is as much a factor in health as in beauty” – Dr Jean Valnet

Natural fragrances or aromatic essences are volatile, pure essential oils from plants, spices, flowers, etc. The essential oils from different herbs, spices and flowers provide subtle aromas from fragrant to pungent.

Advantages of CO₂ extracts in aromatherapy and medicated oils

• Natural fragrances are primarily used for their aromatic properties by the perfume and cosmetic industry, for aromatherapy and also for the food and beverage industry
• No loss of volatile components from the extracted oil
• Volatile oil compounds can be isolated from the other extracts easily
• Suitable for thermally unstable or thermo-labile products, preventing damage to the essential oil

Advantages of CO₂ extracts in fine fragrances

• It is almost as though the supercritical CO₂ technology was designed for perfumery
• The extract retains the character, complexity, delicacy, freshness and smell close to natural which is most essential for the fine fragrances or perfumes and aromatherapy
• Due to selective extraction, the highly volatile top / head notes can be separated from the medium level or heart notes and from the heaviest base notes
• Easier for the perfumers typically trying to get the right balance of different extracts for desired top notes, middle notes and base notes

Pure Fragrances from Satvayur for Perfumery and Aromatherapy Ginger Oil CO₂

Ginger oil is typically described as warm, earthy, spicy, uplifting and energising.

For fine fragrances or perfumery applications

Satvayur’s ginger essential oil is a light yellow clear liquid with a pleasant aroma despite the pungent raw material. The top notes are spicy, yet quite mellow and well-rounded. The middle and base notes are sweet, woody with some sharper piney aspects.

For aromatherapy applications

Overall, ginger oil has a warming and soothing quality. It is very energising, uplifting and revitalizing. Being a cephalic oil, it is able to simultaneously clear the head as well as stimulate the brain and the senses. It is a therapeutic, antidepressant stimulant tonic. Being a carminative, stomachic and antispasmodic oil, one of the most common uses of ginger oil in aroma therapy is to relieve digestive problems like nausea, dizziness, indigestion, vomiting, diarrhoea, abdominal distention and gas, and morning sickness. It also works very well as an expectorant and decongestant. It also has analgesic, anti-inflammatory uses. Being a sudorific and anti-pyretic oil, it also helps alleviate febrile conditions.

For topical applications and oral consumption

CO₂ extracted ginger oil is generally regarded as safe (GRAS) for human consumption. Ginger oil may be applied externally for treating abdominal bloating due to gas and colic for all including children and pregnant women. It is also rubifacient and anti-inflammatory and may be applied externally to any injured area (where the skin is not cut) to reduce pain and inflammation.
