Essential Oils

An essential oil is the volatile aromatic fraction of one named plant, taken off by steam distillation or, for the citrus peels, by cold pressing. Cuprichem supplies the range a Kenyan formulator actually reaches for: the workhorses that go into soap, disinfectant and household cleaning at volume — citronella, lemon grass, eucalyptus, pine — alongside the flavour and cosmetic oils bought by the kilo, such as peppermint, clove, tea tree and lavender. Every line is listed from a 1 Kg minimum pack. Crop, origin and season all move the price of a natural oil, so each one is quoted on enquiry rather than listed. Tell us the oil, the quantity and what you are formulating, and we will confirm the current price and availability.
