Our ingredients
A range built for many uses
Our ingredients serve perfume, beauty, wellness and health brands. Some are already in the field; others are still being developed with partners. Each one carries a simple stage label so you always know where it stands.

Fresh from the field
Plants are processed within hours of harvest, keeping the scent fresh and the quality consistent.
Lab tested
Advanced laboratory analysis (GC-MS and HPLC) checks the make-up of every batch.
Full paperwork
Each batch comes with a certificate of analysis, product sheets, safety documents and a kept reference sample.
Fully traceable
Every batch is linked to its field, plant variety, harvest date and processing record.
Responsibly gathered
Wild plants and resins are gathered legally, with permission, and in ways that let them regrow.
Our on-farm distillery
Our distillery is designed to sit right on the farm, and its capacity grows step by step with our crops.
