What are carrier oils, and how do they differ from Sureka Life Sciences' essential oils?
Carrier oils are fixed (non-aromatic) oils obtained by cold-pressing seeds, nuts, or kernels, used as a base to dilute essential oils or as standalone cosmetic and industrial ingredients. Unlike Sureka Life Sciences' steam-distilled essential oils or solvent-extracted absolutes, carrier oils are produced by mechanical pressing and each product page lists a botanical source, a named fatty-acid or marker-compound grade, and a CAS number.
Does Sureka Life Sciences supply any carrier oil from the same plant as an existing extract or protein product?
Yes — 7 of the 29 carrier oils in this category (Hemp Seed Oil, Kalonji Oil, Karanj Seed Oil, Moringa Oil, Onion Seed Oil, Peanut Oil, and Soyabean Oil) are pressed from the same botanical species as an existing Sureka Life Sciences product in another category. Each is documented and supplied as a distinct commercial form — a cold-pressed fixed oil — separate from the standardized extract, protein isolate, or distilled leaf oil listed elsewhere in the catalog.
How is each carrier oil specified?
Each product page lists the botanical source, a named fatty-acid or marker-compound grade, and a CAS number, so buyers can confirm it matches their formulation requirement before enquiring.
