Our Extraction Process

We combine traditional wisdom with modern steam distillation technology to preserve the delicate aromatic compounds while ensuring maximum purity.

Our Extraction Process

We combine traditional wisdom with modern steam distillation technology to preserve the delicate aromatic compounds while ensuring maximum purity.

1 Selection

Mature vetiver roots are hand-harvested from wild and cultivated crops in Kerala after 18–24 months of growth for optimal oil content.

2 Preparation

Roots are thoroughly washed, dried, and cut into small pieces to maximize surface area for efficient steam penetration.

3 Steam Distillation

High-pressure steam is passed through the prepared roots over an extended period, releasing the deep, complex aromatic compounds.

4 Condensation

Steam and essential oil vapours pass through a cooling condenser, separating into oil and hydrosol water before being carefully collected.

5 Testing

Comprehensive GC-MS analysis ensures purity, verifies compound ratios, and confirms therapeutic quality.

6 Bottling

Oil is filtered and bottled in glass containers to preserve quality, with nitrogen flushing to prevent oxidation.
