Processing at origin
Turning roots, calyces, and nuts into oils, powders, and extracts closer to the farm — starting with essential oils.
Sustainability
Keeping Value at Origin
Most West African botanicals leave the region as raw materials, and most of the value is added elsewhere. Our long-term aim is to change that.
Our approach
As a young business, we would rather tell you what we are working towards than claim what we cannot yet prove.
Fair pricing for quality
Paying producers for consistency and quality, because that is what builds a reliable supply.
Long-term relationships
Repeat business with the same producers rather than one-off spot buys.
How We Choose Suppliers
What we assess before we buy
- Traceability
- Can the product be traced to a named region and producer group?
- Documentation
- Can they provide specifications, analyses, and certificates for each lot?
- Fair terms
- Are producers paid fairly and on time?
- Harvest practices
- Are wild and cultivated plants harvested in a way that lets them regrow?
“How an ingredient is sourced matters as much as what it is.”
We do not use sustainability labels or pledges we have not earned. As our supply grows, we will report what we have actually done here.
