Botanical raw material for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and herbal manufacturers.
Ingredient families for this sector
This sector works principally from dried plant and root material, with distilled materials used where a preparation calls for them.
Essential Oils
Moroccan essential oils supplied in bulk to fragrance, cosmetic, food and aromatherapy manufacturers. Every oil is quoted against a specification agreed at enquiry rather than offered from a fixed list, because the profile a buyer needs follows from the formulation it is going into.
Dried Herbs
Moroccan dried herbs supplied in bulk to herbal, food, beverage and cosmetic manufacturers. Cut, cleanliness and presentation do more to determine whether a consignment is usable than the name on the invoice, so those are agreed against your process before a quotation is issued.
Herbal Roots
Moroccan herbal roots supplied in bulk to fragrance, herbal and cosmetic manufacturers. Root material is bought against preparation as much as against weight, and what can be supplied is confirmed against your specification at enquiry.
Procurement considerations
Nothing on this page should be read as a claim about pharmacological activity. These are the supply questions a manufacturer asks about a botanical raw material.
- Species identity and plant part. The two together define the material. Root, leaf, flower and aerial parts of one species are different ingredients.
- Drying and processing. How material was dried and handled after harvest affects what arrives.
- Cleanliness parameters. Microbiological and contaminant limits are set by your specification; what testing exists for a given ingredient is confirmed at enquiry.
- Batch reference. Consignments are identified so a delivery can be traced back to its harvest and processing.
- Continuity of supply. Repeat supply against one specification should be raised at enquiry rather than assumed.
