• Startups and small brands planning warming massage oils, balms, beard oils, soaps, candles or room sprays with nutmeg oil.
• Students and learners in aromatherapy, Ayurvedic products, soap making and candle making.

• Why nutmeg: a warm, spicy, festive aroma that blends well with cinnamon, clove, orange, cedarwood and vanilla, and sells well in winter.
• All formulas are in % w/w and grams, so they scale up easily. 1% = 1 g in a 100 g batch.

• White label and contract manufacturing for brands without their own factory.
