In an era where "clean label" and "plant-based" are no longer just buzzwords but a lifestyle, the demand for authentic botanical extracts has reached a new peak. At Rahi and Company, we have spent decades mastering the delicate balance between ancient tradition and modern refinement. As we navigate 2026, the shift toward natural concentrated oils has become a defining trend for industries ranging from luxury perfumery to holistic healthcare.
But what makes these oils a staple for the
modern consumer, and why does the source matter more than ever?
Understanding Natural Concentrated Oils
Unlike synthetic fragrances that are
engineered in a lab to mimic nature, natural
concentrated oils are the "living" essence of the plant. These
oils are captured through meticulous processes like steam distillation and cold
pressing, ensuring that the complex molecular structure of the botanical
remains intact.
When we talk about "concentration,"
we aren't just referring to the strength of the scent. We are talking about the
density of active compounds—the terpenes, esters, and alcohols that provide
therapeutic benefits. A single drop of a high-quality concentrated oil from Rahi and Company can represent the
aromatic power of several kilograms of raw plant material.
The Rahi and Company Heritage: Quality Since 1970
Based in the heart of India’s perfume capital,
Kannauj, Rahi and Company (also

Why the Industry is Shifting to Concentrates in 2026?
The global market for essential and
concentrated oils is projected to grow significantly this year. This surge is
driven by three main factors:
1. Functional Fragrance
Consumers in 2026 are looking for more than
just a "nice smell." They want functionality. Natural concentrated oils like Peppermint are being used to
enhance focus in office environments, while Sandalwood and Rose remain the gold
standard for stress reduction and emotional balance.
2. Clean Beauty Formulations
The skincare industry has moved away from
harsh synthetics. Manufacturers now utilize concentrated oils to provide
natural antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, allowing for
"preservative-free" claims that resonate with savvy buyers.
3. Ethical Consumerism
Today’s buyer wants to know the story behind
the bottle. By sourcing from a legacy supplier like Rahi and Company, brands can guarantee a transparent supply chain
that respects both the artisan and the environment.

enthusiast, choosing the right concentrate is essential:
