15th September at 13.40pm: Adam Michael here with a little update. First, our offering of rose aromatics has become too big - largest online offering in Europe - and so we are phasing out ROSE OTTO SUPER PREMIUM, ROSE OTTO CO2 ORGANIC and ROSE PETALS PERSIAN OTTO. These beautiful materials sourced directly are available at heavily reduced prices and available whilst stocks last. Next, OSMANTHUS ABS is now priced at just 375 Euros per 50G and this epic multi layered beauty is sourced directly through my own network in China. Next, SANDALWOOD MUSK 1960 CO2, stocks are very low, we have maybe a weeks supply based on how it is selling, so if you want a bottle or more of this old school dreamy vintage smelling wonder, then buy it now as this quality of sandalwood is no easy feat at all to source. Next, we now have stocks again of the pink champagne coloured Wild Strawberry Liquid and very soon I will also be writing about this aromatic. Kewda E.O, lots are asking about it, but note it has had lots of delays and realistically now, I wont have supplies of this until at least mid November. Regarding order lead-times, currently the lead-time still stands at 7 working days and I thank all clients for their patience as we process orders as fast as we can. Finally for now, we are working with a company that specialises in the paperwork side of our business and are hopeful towards the close of 2021 that we should have REACH COMPLIANT paperwork in place on the website for every product we sell. I will write again here on Monday 20th. Thank you, Adam : ) Dismiss
Adam Michael has this to say “The aroma of bitter almond essential oil is almond intense and sweet nutty with watery apple and juicy cherry nuances. This essential oil is produced from the volatile oil obtained from the bitter almond kernels – Prunus amygdalus var. Amara. The main chemical constituent in the essential oil is benzaldehyde (>97%) whether this is from a natural or synthetic source – both may still be sold as bitter almond.
According to the IFRA46 published in June 2011 the maximum level of use (%) of bitter almond oil in – deodorant is 0.02%, fine fragrance 0.09%, body lotion 0.27%, facial cream 0.14%, soap 3%.
Bitter almond has a specific gravity (g/ml) at 20°C of 1.039 – 1.059. The refractive index at 20°C is 1.542 – 1.548 and the flash point of bitter almond is >61°C.”
