Bio Karanja Seed Oil + White Copal is a distinctive botanical blend combining deeply conditioning karanja seed oil with the fresh, luminous and softly resinous aroma of white copal.
Karanja seed oil is obtained from the seeds of Pongamia pinnata, also known as Millettia pinnata. It has a rich texture and a naturally earthy, herbal and seed-like aroma. It is especially suitable for body oils, balms, scalp preparations, pre-shampoo treatments, hair masks, soaps and grooming formulations.
White copal brings fresh citrus-like, green, balsamic, woody and delicately incense-inspired nuances. It helps soften and refine the deeper botanical character of karanja oil, creating a balanced ingredient for skincare, haircare, massage, natural perfumery and aromatic rituals.

Formulation & Chemistry
No batch fatty-acid profile, resin composition or ratio of karanja oil to White Copal is supplied. Composition and use levels must not be inferred from generic karanja or copal data.
Ultrasonic infusion transfers a variable fraction of oil-compatible resin material. This blend is not karanja extract, copal essential oil or a resin absolute.
Formulation Guidance
- For leave-on skincare, do not exceed 2% under the current safety field until the conflicting use levels are clarified.
- Begin low in facial and fine-hair formulas because the oil is rich and naturally aromatic.
- Introduce through a compatible oil phase and avoid unnecessary prolonged heat.
- Evaluate aroma, colour, oxidation, soap behaviour and packaging compatibility in the finished formula.
