Essential oils are liquids extracted from plants. The extraction process of turning plants into essential oils is through distillation, primarily steam distillation. Essential oils, as concentrated hydrophobic liquids, contain aromatic compounds and active substances that provide distinctive aromas and various other benefits. These oils are often used in the aromatherapy, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and culinary industries.
In addition to the diverse benefits mentioned above, which make them one of the important commodities in various industries worldwide, essential oils also represent the natural wealth found in different parts of the world. Each type of essential oil has unique characteristics that offer specific benefits for human well-being, such as patchouli oil from Indonesia, lavender from France, and eucalyptus from Australia.
Therefore, global demand for essential oils continues to increase along with the growing trend and campaign for a healthy lifestyle and a return to nature. Essential oils, as a symbol of how nature can unite the world, can bring together diverse cultures through global supply chains. The international trade of essential oils has bridged farmers and producers in essential oil-producing countries with consumers worldwide. Furthermore, international cooperation in essential oil research and development is also evolving.
The relationship between the perfumery industry in France and patchouli oil from Indonesia is a perfect example of how international trade can connect countries and create added value for industries and societies on both sides. France, known as the center of the world perfume industry, is always searching for high-quality raw materials to produce superior perfumes. Patchouli oil, known for its ability to enhance and strengthen the base aroma of perfumes, especially from Indonesia as one of the largest producers of patchouli oil in the world, has globally recognized quality with a distinctive and long-lasting aroma, making it a highly sought-after raw material by perfume makers in France.
With the growing global demand for natural products, Rempah Alam Wangi Indonesia is strategically positioned to continue to grow and lead the global essential oils market. The company's commitment to quality and sustainability has helped create products that not only meet consumer needs but also support the well-being of local communities. Through essential oils, RAW not only brings fragrance to the world but also bridges cultures and strengthens international trade relations, making essential oils a symbol of global unity and collaboration.
