INFUSED home Grown Organic Herbs

This uses the latest technology to achieve much higher concentrations of active ingredients in all my infused oils.

I use only New Zealand made, cold pressed, high oleic (monounsaturated) Extra Virgin Sunflower Oil in all my oil infusions.

Ultrasonic sound extraction combines low-temperature processing with acoustic cavitation to deliver superior botanical extracts for skincare:

Enhanced Extraction: Microscopic cavitation bubbles rupture plant cell walls, releasing compounds that passive infusion cannot access — delivering significantly higher (2X-3X) concentrations of active ingredients.

Heat-Sensitive Protection: Operating at 40-50°C, ultrasonic extraction preserves delicate antioxidants, vitamins A, C and E, and heat-sensitive phytonutrients that would degrade at higher temperatures.

Deep Cellular Access: Cavitation reaches compounds locked within tough seed coats, dense roots, and fibrous leaves — materials that resist traditional infusion methods.

Time Efficiency: Achieves in 1-2 hours what passive infusion takes weeks to accomplish, reducing oxidation exposure and preserving freshness.

Full-Spectrum Potency: Extracts the complete array of phytonutrients — not just the easily accessible surface compounds — maintaining the synergistic ratios that make botanicals effective.

Consistent Results: Controlled frequency and temperature deliver repeatable extraction profiles batch after batch, ensuring product consistency.

Maximum Bioavailability: Compounds retain their original molecular structure while being extracted more completely, optimising absorption and utilisation by the skin.
