Absolutes/Resin/Resinoid/Oleoresin

HBNO® Absolutes and Oleoresins are premium concentrated plant extracts used extensively across perfumery, cosmetics, aromatherapy, and flavoring industries. Known for their rich, complex aromatic profiles, these extracts provide depth and authenticity to formulations, offering natural alternatives to synthetic fragrance and flavor components.

What are Absolutes & Oleoresins 

Absolutes and oleoresins are highly concentrated extracts obtained from botanical sources. While both deliver powerful natural aromas, they differ in composition and extraction method:

  • Absolutes are extracted using solvent or enfleurage methods to capture delicate aromatic compounds that may be lost in steam distillation.
  • Oleoresins are semi-solid extracts containing essential oils and natural resins, produced by solvent extraction or CO₂ processes.

These materials are valued for their intensity, authenticity, and stability in fragrance and flavor applications.
