Asafoetida Oil

Sourced from the heart of Kannauj, India, Shiva Exports India presents Asafoetida Oil, meticulously crafted through generations of artisanal distillation expertise. This potent essential oil, extracted with cutting-edge steam distillation techniques, embodies the absolute purity and unwavering quality demanded by discerning perfumers, cosmetic manufacturers, and aromatherapy professionals.

🌿 Olfactory Profile & Applications

Our Asafoetida Oil opens with a pungent, intensely sulfuric top note characteristic of high-quality *Ferula assa-foetida* resin. This impactful initial impression yields to a complex middle accord of earthy, slightly sweet spice, underpinned by a tenacious base note that lingers with a warm, savory depth. Its unique profile makes it invaluable in creating intriguing unconventional accords in fine fragrances, adding depth and complexity to cosmetic formulations, and imparting distinctive characteristics in aroma chemicals. Beyond perfumery, Asafoetida Oil finds applications in personal care products, soap and candle manufacturing, and specialized pharmaceutical preparations requiring its unique biochemical properties.

📖 Usage & Formulation Guide

Harness the potential of Asafoetida Oil with these expert-driven formulation tips:

• Topical Application for Inflammation: To address localized inflammation, dilute Asafoetida Oil to a 1% concentration in a carrier oil such as Sesame or Black Seed Oil. Gently massage onto affected areas. *Always perform a patch test before widespread use.*
• Savory Soap Making: Introduce a unique twist to your artisanal soaps by incorporating Asafoetida Oil at a concentration of 0.5% to 1%. This creates a distinctive aroma profile that complements earthy or spicy soap formulations.
• Perfumery Accord Enhancement: In perfumery, a trace amount (0.1% - 0.5%) of Asafoetida Oil can add an unexpected, intriguing dimension to woody, oriental, or chypre accords. Its sulfuric notes provide a grounding, almost animalic quality.
