Plants, oils and scent.

Egypt has grown and distilled aromatic plants for as long as anyone has written it down. The difficulty was never the quality. It was proving it, batch after batch, to a buyer three thousand kilometres away.

What we supply.

From single-origin oils in 25 kg drums to dried botanicals by the pallet, priced against a real crop and a real still — not a spot listing.

GC-MS on
every batch.

Adulteration in essential oils is common, cheap and hard to see. A gas chromatography–mass spectrometry profile is the only honest answer, so we run one on every batch and send it with the offer.

Identity

Composition profile

Full component profile with the marker compounds for the species, compared against the expected range for that origin and harvest — so dilution, reconstitution and species substitution show up.

Safety

Residues & allergens

Pesticide residue screening, solvent residue for absolutes, heavy metals, and the IFRA-listed allergen declaration your labelling and safety assessment will need.

Provenance

Crop & still

Named growing region, harvest window, distillation method and yield, plus the retained sample we can re-test if a shipment is ever questioned.
