Our Method

The Science of Supercritical CO₂

Unlike steam distillation or solvent extraction, supercritical CO₂ operates at precise temperature and pressure thresholds — preserving the full chemical complexity of the plant, yielding extracts of unmatched purity and potency.

01
Raw Material Sourcing

Wild-harvested and organically cultivated botanicals from Tamil Nadu & surrounding states. Direct farmer relationships ensure traceability.

02
CO₂ Pressurisation

CO₂ is compressed to supercritical state (~74 bar, 31°C) — behaving simultaneously as liquid and gas, penetrating plant material with zero thermal damage.

03
Selective Extraction

By tuning pressure and temperature, we selectively isolate essential oils, oleoresins, CO₂ totals, or specific compound fractions.

04
Separation & Recovery

CO₂ depressurises cleanly, leaving zero residual solvent. The gas is recycled in a closed loop — environmentally responsible and cost-efficient.

05
Quality Assurance

GC-MS analysis, heavy metal screening, and microbial testing on every batch. Full CoA documentation provided with shipment.

Product Portfolio

Botanicals from the South Indian Heartland

Tiruvannamalai sits at the ecological crossroads of the Eastern Ghats and the Deccan Plateau — home to an extraordinary diversity of medicinal, aromatic, and functional plants. Here are our planned extract lines.

Flagship 🌿
Lemongrass CO₂ Extract
Cymbopogon citratus / flexuosus

High-citral supercritical extract with a bright, clean lemon-herbaceous character. Widely cultivated in Tamil Nadu. Superior to steam-distilled oil in aroma complexity and antimicrobial activity.

Flavour Fragrance Antimicrobial Personal Care
Pharma Grade 🌿
Vetiver Root Extract
Chrysopogon zizanioides

Khus / vetiver is indigenous to South India. SC-CO₂ yields a rich, smoky-earthy base note prized in luxury perfumery and skin-calming formulations. Higher sesquiterpene retention versus hydrodistillation.

Luxury Perfumery Aromatherapy Skincare
Cosmetic 🌼
Jasmine Oleoresin
Jasminum sambac / grandiflorum

Tamil Nadu is the world capital of jasmine cultivation. Our CO₂ select and total extracts preserve the full floral complexity — indole, benzyl acetate, linalool — lost in traditional solvent processing.

Fine Fragrance Cosmetic Luxury
Pharma Grade 🌱
Neem Extract
Azadirachta indica

High-azadirachtin CO₂ total extract from neem seed kernels. Exceptional bioactive retention for nutraceutical, veterinary, and agricultural biopesticide applications.

Nutraceutical Biopesticide Veterinary
Cosmetic 🫚
Turmeric CO₂ Total
Curcuma longa

Curcuminoid-rich extract from Erode-grown turmeric, the global benchmark variety. Solvent-free CO₂ extraction preserves curcumin, ar-turmerone, and the full sesquiterpene profile for food, pharma, and cosmetics.

Food Pharma Anti-inflammatory
Flagship 🌱
Moringa Seed Oil
Moringa oleifera

Supercritical extraction of moringa (drumstick) seed yields a ultra-stable behenic-acid-rich oil with extraordinary oxidative stability and exceptional skin-feel for premium cosmetic formulations.

Cosmetic Carrier Oil High-Stability
Pharma Grade 🍃
Holy Basil (Tulsi) Extract
Ocimum tenuiflorum

Eugenol and eugenol methyl ether-rich CO₂ extract from sacred tulsi. Strongly adaptogenic, antimicrobial, and anti-stress — key ingredient for functional wellness products and Ayurvedic formulations.

Wellness Ayurvedic Adaptogenic
Cosmetic 🌾
Patchouli Dark & Light
Pogostemon cablin

Both dark (fermented, high-patchoulol) and light (fresh, green) CO₂ extracts. Grown in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu; CO₂ processing yields a cleaner, more complex profile than steam-distilled.

Fine Fragrance Base Note Fixative
Pharma Grade 🌱
Black Pepper Oleoresin
Piper nigrum

High-piperine CO₂ extract from Malabar black pepper. Critical bioavailability enhancer in nutraceutical formulations. Also used as a natural flavour and preservative in the food industry.

  • 🌿
    Biodiversity Hotspot

    The Eastern Ghats near Tiruvannamalai harbour extraordinary endemic flora — lemongrass, vetiver, neem, moringa, and dozens of medicinal species grow abundantly within sourcing radius.

  • ☀️
    Ideal Growing Climate

    Tropical dry climate with seasonal monsoon creates high essential oil content in aromatic plants. Lemongrass citral levels from this region benchmark among the world's highest.

  • 🚚
    Supply Chain Proximity

    Within 200km of major botanical growing belts: jasmine from Madurai, turmeric from Erode, vetiver from Salem, black pepper from the Nilgiris. Chennai port for export access.

  • 🏛️
    Ayurvedic Heritage

    Tiruvannamalai's rich Siddha medicine tradition means deep local knowledge of botanical properties, seasonal harvesting, and quality assessment — embedded in the regional culture.

The CO₂ Advantage

Why Supercritical Changes Everything

Compared to steam distillation, cold pressing, or hexane extraction, SC-CO₂ is categorically superior for preserved bioactivity, safety, and regulatory positioning.

— 01
No Thermal Degradation

SC-CO₂ operates at near-ambient temperatures (31–60°C). Heat-sensitive terpenes, esters, and phenolics that are destroyed by steam distillation remain fully intact — delivering superior aroma and pharmacological efficacy.

Key benefit: Full terpene profile
— 02
Zero Solvent Residue

CO₂ is GRAS-classified. It leaves absolutely no residual solvent — a critical compliance advantage for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and infant/children's product applications globally.

Regulatory: GRAS & EMA compliant
— 03
Tunable Selectivity

Pressure and temperature tuning enables selective fractionation: CO₂ select (essential oil fraction), CO₂ total (full plant extract), or targeted compound isolation — all from the same feedstock.

Custom: Product-specific tuning
— 04
Higher Yield & Potency

SC-CO₂ extracts heavier waxes, resins, and pigments that steam distillation misses entirely, yielding a fuller-spectrum product with greater bioactive density per gram.

Value: Higher actives per gram
— 05
Environmentally Responsible

Closed-loop CO₂ recycling means minimal emissions. No toxic solvent waste streams. Significantly lower water consumption compared to steam-based methods. ESG-aligned manufacturing.

Impact: Carbon-conscious process
— 06
Extended Shelf Stability

The oxygen-free extraction environment and absence of water prevent microbial contamination and oxidation. CO₂ extracts exhibit significantly longer shelf life than comparable steam-distilled oils.

Quality: 2–5x longer shelf life
