Kewra Absolute

Product Overview

From the heart of Kannauj, India — the Perfume Capital of India — Shiva Exports India presents our premium Kewra Absolute, an exquisite, highly concentrated botanical treasure extracted from the wild-harvested male spadices of Pandanus odoratissimus. Meticulously processed using a combination of traditional hydro-distillation and sophisticated modern extraction techniques, this rare absolute captures the ethereal, honeyed floral aroma that has defined Indian perfumery for centuries. Crafted specifically for discerning fragrance houses, cosmetic formulators, and clinical aromatherapists, our Kewra Absolute guarantees unmatched purity and batch-to-batch consistency for high-end industrial applications.

🌿 Olfactory Profile & Applications

Kewra Absolute (commonly known as Kewda oil or screwpine essential oil) exhibits a highly complex, multi-layered olfactory profile. The top notes open with an intense, green-watery sweetness, reminiscent of fresh morning dew on tropical vegetation. This rapidly gives way to a rich, honeyed floral aroma in the heart, displaying smooth, velvety, and slightly fruity undertones akin to ripe apricots and soft rose petals. The base note is exceptionally grounding, providing an earthy, herbaceous, and long-lasting fixative quality.

This unique olfactory signature makes our Kewra flower extract highly prized in several industrial sectors:

• Fine Fragrances & Natural Perfumery: Used as a key modifier and fixative in high-end oriental, floral, and chypre accords, or to recreate authentic traditional Indian attar compositions.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Incorporated into luxury anti-aging creams, revitalizing facial serums, and premium body lotions for its skin-refreshing properties.
• Aromatherapy: Utilized in premium therapeutic formulations designed to soothe the nervous system, reduce mental fatigue, and promote emotional grounding.
• Aroma Chemicals: Serves as a rich natural source of phenyl ethyl methyl ether for niche perfumery isolates.

📖 Usage & Formulation Guide

As a highly concentrated exotic floral absolute, Kewra Absolute must be handled with precision by professional formulators. Below are expert guidelines for industrial and artisanal applications:

• Exotic Oriental Perfume Accord: Blend 2% Kewra Absolute with 5% Sandalwood (Santalum album) and 3% Jasmine Grandiflorum absolute in a carrier of Jojoba oil or perfumer’s alcohol. This combination yields a traditional, long-lasting attar-style fragrance with deep fixative power.
• Grounding Meditation Diffuser Blend: For commercial home fragrance lines, combine 1 part Kewra Absolute, 3 parts Frankincense (Boswellia carterii), and 2 parts Bergamot FCF. This blend creates a deeply serene, sacred space highly suitable for wellness spas and meditation centers.
• Luxury Radiant Facial Serum: To formulate high-end skincare targeting dry or mature skin, dilute Kewra Absolute at 0.1% to 0.3% within a base of organic Rosehip and Argan oils. This provides a cooling, grounding effect while rejuvenating tired-looking skin.
• Soap and Fine Cosmetic Manufacturing: Use at a maximum recommended dermal concentration of 0.5% in cold-process soaps or premium body washes to ensure scent longevity without destabilizing the formulation base.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Kewra Absolute and Kewra Water (Hydrosol)?
Kewra Absolute is a highly concentrated, lipophilic extract containing the pure volatile aroma molecules of the flower, primarily used in high-end perfumery and cosmetics. Kewra Water (hydrosol) is the water-soluble byproduct of the steam distillation process, which is highly diluted and traditionally used in culinary applications.

Can this Kewra Absolute be used directly in food and baking?
Our Kewra Absolute is a highly concentrated, raw cosmetic and perfumery ingredient. For commercial food-grade flavoring, we recommend our specialized, food-grade Kewra distillates or hydrosols which are specifically standardized for culinary safety.

What is the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) for international wholesale orders?
As a primary B2B manufacturer, our standard MOQ for precious absolute oils starts at 1 kg. However, we offer smaller 100ml and 250ml sample packs for verified cosmetic formulators and R&D laboratories seeking initial product validation.
