Essential Oils Market Update & News Demand for Halal certifications increase Seven Scent (part of the PZ Cussons group) has become the first U.K.-based fragrance supplier to gain halal certification for its entire portfolio, which will help strengthen its offerings for personal care and fragrance markets in Muslim-majority regions and Western markets seeking halal-certified products. “Seven has a strong record of creating halal-approved fragrances for successful PZ Cussons brands in Muslim-majority regions, but we wanted to formalize and strengthen our position—not only to future-proof established brands in key Asian countries, but also to open up new opportunities in western markets where there is untapped potential for halal-certified personal care and cosmetic products,” said Alistair Wilding, head of technical at Seven Scent. “Modern, brand conscious, young Muslims, particularly women, are keen to follow beauty trends and increasingly looking for aspirational personal care and cosmetic products that meet their dual demand for beauty and faith," said Shoeeb Riaz, independent halal consultant and auditor for The Halal Trust. "In the U.K., for example, 37% of Muslims fall into the coveted 18-35 year old demographic, which is an important consumer audience for brand owners,” Riaz said. Seven Scent said it is committed to maintaining halal principles across its manufacturing processes, and is involved in early regulatory discussions to establish regional compliance standards across the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) market. “The halal market for personal care and cosmetic products offers British companies real opportunity to diversify, win new market share, export halal products and improve long-term profitability,” added Riaz. The company worked closely with The Halal Trust on the rigorous certification audit, which covered cleaning and manufacturing systems as well as laboratory testing of random fragrances, to provide qualitative and quantitative validation. Supplier due diligence of all raw materials was a crucial step to achieving full compliance for the Manchester site. The certification is renewed annually by The Halal Trust in accordance with local and international guidelines. It is designed to be easily integrated into existing production systems on site, allowing businesses to operate without any down time.

Indian Sandalwood Crisis For thousands of years now, the sandalwood tree has been a source of pride for India. Sandal (Santalum album L.), one of the most economically important forest trees harvested for its heartwood oil, forms an important component of the total foreign exchange earned in the country. The tree is generally known as the “dollar earning parasite” and its wood is commercially known as “East Indian sandalwood,” whereas its fragrant oil is called the “queen of essential oil”. Owing to its wide use in both Hindu and Buddhist religious ceremonies, in ayurvedic medicine and perfumery, there continues to be increasing world demand for its oil. The tree is found from 30°N to 40°S from Indonesia in the West to Jaun Fernandez Islands in the East and from Hawaiian Archipelago in the North to New Zealand in the South. In India, although the tree is distributed rather widely, the populations are geograph-ically more concentrated in South India covering parts of Maharashtra, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Kerala. The state of Karnataka itself accounts for more than 70% of the area. The occurrence of sandalwood is also recorded in Northern (Uttar Pradesh) and Central (Madhya Pradesh, Orissa) parts of India; however, their distribution is very sparse. Seeds of all members of Santalaceae possess santalbic acid, which is a characte-ristic feature of the family. Sandalwood seeds are used in treatment of diuretic hypotensive, antitrem-orogenic and antiviral activities, in addition to a number of skin diseases. Sandalwood bark extract is a chemosterilant and an insect growth inhibitor. Both wood and oil of the sandalwood tree are used in incenses, perfumes and medicines and have great commercial importance. Heartwood of sandalwood is astringent, bitter, antipyretic and a cooling agent. Being closely grained and amenable to carving, sandalwood is one of the finest woods for this purpose. It is used for making idols, boxes and other curios of exquisite beauty. About 5% of wood produced annually is used in carving idols and other utility articles. Some important traditional centers in South India for carving are Ankola, Bangalore, Honnavar, Kumta, Mysore, Sagar, Sirsi, Talagoppa (in Karnataka), Tirupati in (Andhra Pradesh), Thiruvan-anthapuram (in Kerala) and some places in Tamil Nadu. However, most of these centers have ceased to function because of non-availability of sandalwood. The fixative properties and tenacious aroma of sandalwood oil is due to its major odoriferous sesquiterpenic constituents, a- and b-santalols. The highly purified sandalwood oil is used with other perfumery materials and has also earned a prominent place in the incense, cosmetic, fragrance and soap industries. Estée Lauder acquires By Kilian fragrance house The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. has acquired the fragrance house, By Kilian, which was founded in 2007 by Kilian Hennessy. John Demsey, executive group president, will add By Kilian to his portfolio, which includes Tom Ford Beauty, Jo Malone London, Aramis & Designer Fragrances, Le Labo and Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle. By Kilian fragrances, candles and accessories are sold in more than 40 countries, primarily in North America, Europe and the Middle East, via freestanding stores, prestige department stores and perfumeries.“ The Estée Lauder Companies not only understands the philosophy behind By Kilian – which is to bring perfumery back to the level of luxury that it enjoyed in the early 20th century – but also has the resources and support to help By Kilian continue to strategically grow by category, region and distribu-tion," said Hennessy. "By Kilian is a perfect complement to our portfolio of prestige fragrances,” said Fabrizio Freda, President and Chief Executive Officer of The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. “Kilian has built a beautiful and sumptuous brand that elevates the art of perfume creation with elegance and uncompro-mising luxury. This acquisition gives our Company a strategic opportunity to continue to build upon our leadership in ultra-luxury fragrances. Market Insider Essential Oils & Oleoresins – March 2016 Page 3

The French Society of Perfumers organizes every two years the International Perfumer- Creator Award. This award is intended to encourage young composers of fragrance less than 35 years old to freely express their creativity. The award recognizes the author of a perfume whose olfactory form is distinguished by an original character and has an aesthetic value judged satisfactory. Perfumes subjected successively are evaluated by two juries: 1. A technical jury composed exclusively of Perfumers and evaluators confirmed more than 35 years old. They will examine individually all the fragrance about creativity and technical part, and at a review meeting, they will make a selection that will be presented to the artistic jury. 2. An artistic jury composed of personalities from the world of Arts, Letters, Culture, Fashion and Trade. The jury must reveal three nominees and choose a winner. The evaluation will be made perfumes "from the point of view of the customer" in appreciating the true qualities.

Overall production may be up to 40% down and with little carryover from 2015, supplies will be short, and prices are expected to rise. Production of Chinese geranium oil reduced Exports of geranium oil from China are reported to have almost halved between 2014 and 2015 as high prices reduced demand. The new crop harvest will start in April. Guatemala cardamom harvest gives reasonable totals Market Insider Essential Oils & Oleoresins – March 2016 Page 6
Estimates for the current Guatemalan cardamom harvest are in the range 30 to 32,000 tonnes, similar to the previous harvest. These levels should support reasonable pricing, although the continuing problem with thrips will result in reduced essential oil yields. Indian market offers increasing opportunities for raw material producers The Personal Care India Expo for ingredients and packaging takes place August 22-24, 2016 in Pragati Maidan, New Delhi. The Indian personal care segment is growing, and the expo is attempting to show newcomers how dynamic it is becoming. • The personal care industry accounts for 22% of the country's fast-moving consumer goods market • The beauty and cosmetic industry is projected to grow between 18-20% per year for the next few years • Global demand for personal care ingredients is projected to reach $176 billion by 2020 at a CAGR of 5.4% from 2015-2020 Continued move to develop non-animal tests to evaluate fragrance materials The Institute for In Vitro Sciences Inc (IIVS) has received a grant from the Research Institute for Fragrance Materials (RIFM) to develop non-animal test methods for the evaluation of fragrance materials for potential respiratory irritation and sensitization. The grant was secured in collaboration with Liverpool John Moores University and the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. “Computational toxicology, in silico, other computational models—or even alternative assays that get us high-quality answers—is where RIFM is investing its resources," RIFM's new president, James Romine, said. The proposal, "The use of a novel non-animal platform to characterize respiratory effects of fragrance materials" combines computational approaches as well as in chemical techniques, and includes a testing plan in harmony with concepts for the OECD Adverse Outcome Pathway program. "The ability to evaluate the effect of fragrance materials on the respiratory system is significant for many industries. This project is expected to deliver far-reaching benefits to the scientific community for evaluating respiratory irritation and sensitization," said Dr. Holger Behrsing, principal scientist at IIVS and primary investigator on the project. "We are pleased that RIFM has chosen to promote the use of a non-animal approach for this investig-ation." "The generation and distribution of high quality scientific data on the safety assessment of fragrances is central to our mission," said Romine in a recent statement on the grant. "RIFM is committed to the development of these data utilizing state-of-the-art technologies which don't require the use of animals." At the third Annual Review of the IDEA (International Dialogue for the Evaluation of Allergens) Project last year, held under the auspices of the European Commission (DG SANTE), the fragrance industry confirmed its commitment to alternative approaches to animal testing. This significant step was intended to lead to the development of a new approach integrating non- animal data to assess the potency of skin sensitisers. “I am keen to highlight one of the top priorities for the IDEA Project, the eventual integration of non-animal data in risk assessment, achieving at least the same level of confidence as with the LLNA [Local Lymph Node Assay] approach,” said Michael Carlos, chairman of the International Fragrance Association (IFRA) board. “Having the express support and expertise of the JRC (Joint Research Centre) and the scientific community will help in achieving this ambitious challenge enhancing the safety of consumers,” Carlos continued. Since its start in 2013, the IDEA project has conducted eight workshops gathering over 40 scientific and medical experts from academia, clinics and research centers, including past Market Insider Essential Oils & Oleoresins – March 2016 Page 7
and current Scientific Committee members as well as over 30 industry experts. This multi- stakeholder project said it also achieved two key milestones which were reviewed in Luxembourg: • Firstly, the Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) for fragrance materials is enhanced with an in-depth analysis of the Skin Sensitization Safety Factors and complemented with a thorough aggregate exposure model, the stakeholder said. This QRA model, reviewed by the JRC, opens the way for authorities and industry to approach risk assessment of fragrance ingredients with a common tool, which should greatly contribute to the prevention of the induction of skin sensitiz-ation, according to the stakeholders. • The second milestone is the advanced analytical work to better identify and understand the mechanism of pre- and pro-haptens, in the field of oxidation. Pierre Sivac, IFRA President, stated: “It has become evident that the IDEA project model may have applications beyond fragrance skin allergies linked to the use of cosmetic products. This could support a cross sectorial approach, addressing the societal concerns of citizens who look at consumer products as a whole and safety “at home” as all inclusive,” concluded Sivac.

For personal care applications such as facial cleansers or baby bubble baths, the portfolio range includes sugar-based surfactants, pearlizers, emollients and protein derivatives. To meet applications for the pharmaceutical industry, the portfolio also consists of detergent, cleaning agents and raw materials. “With our new halal-certified product portfolio we want to adequately respond to the needs of the muslim populations and offer products that are considered to be pure in accordance with Islamic Law,” said Dirk Mampe, head of Business Management Personal Care Specialties Europe. “Thus, we are able to better serve our customers in the predominantly Muslim countries of the Maghreb, the Middle East and Asia.” The market for halal products is large and growing. Indonesia has over 200 million Muslims who look for halal personal and home care products. The Asian island state passed a law in 2014 requiring for all products to be labeled as halal or haram beginning in 2019 moving forward. “Western consumers are also starting to request halal-certified products,” said Mampe. “The fact that halal products can be traced back through the entire value chain is important for them in terms of quality assurance. In this light, we will continue to expand our portfolio of halal ingredients.” According to market research institute TechNavio, halal-certified personal care products will continue to rise up to 13.7% each year through 2019 in the global market.

PRODUCT & MARKET NOTES Albania: Aromatic plants & essential oil industry INTRODUCTION Albania runs along the Adriatic Sea in the Mediterranean. It is mountainous, with a large number of forests, wild pastures and cultivated land, with many rivers and lakes. The country is rich in natural resources, and water. Landscape and climatic conditions have given rise to a diverse biodiversity, in particular for herbs and spices (mint, chamomile, rosemary, sage, oregano, parsley, thyme etc) that are widely used in everyday life, and many of which are also well known, traditionally, for their medicinal properties. There herbs grow wild in Albania and many are harvested from the wild. Many areas are remote, and the production is largely ‘organic’. Albania is mountainous with more than 75% of its area being hills and mountains. About 30% of the territory is between 0 and 300m above sea level, 42% from 300-1 000 m and 8% higher 2 than 1500 m. The Republic encompasses a total area of 28,748 km of which 24% is agricultural land, 36% forest, 16% pastures and meadows, and 24% unproductive land, urban land, inland waterways etc. The coastal zone to the west along the Adriatic sea, mostly occupied by fertile alluvial soils, is replaced by the sub mountainous zone in the centre, covered by hills with mainly flysch (sandstones and schists) and marls, while most of the Market Insider Essential Oils & Oleoresins – March 2016 Page 11
eastern part of the country is covered by high mountain massifs mainly consisting of limestone. With its coastline facing the Adriatic and Ionian seas, its highlands backed upon the elevated Balkan landmass, and the entire country lying at a latitude subject to a variety of weather patterns during the winter and summer seasons, Albania has a high number of climatic regions for so small an area. The coastal lowlands have typically Mediterranean weather; the highlands have a Mediterranean continental climate. In both the lowlands and the interior, the weather varies markedly from north to south. The lowlands have mild winters, averaging about 7° C. Summer temperatures average 24° C, humidity is high, and the weather tends to be oppressively uncomfortable. In the southern lowlands, temperatures average about five degrees higher throughout the year. The difference is greater than five degrees during the summer and somewhat less during the winter. Inland temperatures are affected more by differences in elevation than by latitude or any other factor. Low winter temperatures in the mountains are caused by the continental air mass that dominates the weather in Eastern Europe and the Balkans. Northerly and northeasterly winds blow much of the time. Average summer temperatures are lower than in the coastal areas and much lower at higher elevations, but daily fluctuations are greater. Daytime maximum temperatures in the interior basins and river valleys are very high, but the nights are almost always cool. Lavender cultivation in inland areas Market Insider Essential Oils & Oleoresins – March 2016 Page 12
Average precipitation is heavy, a result of the convergence of the prevailing airflow from the Mediterranean Sea and the continental air mass. Because they usually meet at the point where the terrain rises, the heaviest rain falls in the central uplands. Vertical currents initiated when the Mediterranean air is uplifted also cause frequent thunderstorms. Many of these storms are accompanied by high local winds and torrential downpours. When the continental air mass is weak, Mediterranean winds drop their moisture farther inland. When there is a dominant continental air mass, cold air spills onto the lowland areas, which occurs most frequently in the winter. Because the season's lower temperatures damage olive trees and citrus fruits, groves and orchards are restricted to sheltered places with southern and western exposures, even in areas with high average winter temperatures. Lowland rainfall averages from 1,000 millimeters to more than 1,500 millimeters annually, with the higher levels in the north. Nearly 95 percent of the rain falls in the winter. Rainfall in the upland mountain ranges is heavier. Adequate records are not available, and estimates vary widely, but annual averages are probably about 1,800 millimeters and are as high as 2,550 millimeters in some northern areas. The seasonal variation is not quite as great in the coastal area. The higher inland mountains receive less precipitation then the intermediate uplands. Terrain differences cause wide local variations, but the seasonal distribution is the most consistent of any area. MEDICINAL AND AROMATIC SECTOR The traditional supply chain in Albania starts with small collectors who harvest from the wild, and follows through to larger collectors and processors (mainly distillers) and traders and exporters. Collectors harvest material from the wild, and clean, dry and store the product. Must of this work is done by women. Facilities are basic, and much of the drying is done in the open air (sun drying), and cleaning, sorting and grading is also done manually. Drying juniper berries Market Insider Essential Oils & Oleoresins – March 2016 Page 13
Cleaning juniper berries Processing is limited, and largely restricted to chopping (of leaves), grinding, and distillation for production of essential oils. Where leaf material is the export product (notably with sage leaf, which is a major export product), the material is compressed in bales to reduce shipping volumes. Compressing sage leaf into bales for export The dangers that arise in the traditional value chain are centered around the danger of microbiological contamination. Materials are frequently poorly dried, or slowly dried, are stored in direct contact with the ground, and held in stores with no precautions against insect and other pest infection. This can create problems in the trade, given the increasing attention paid to these factors in the major markets, and the increasingly strict product standards. Market Insider Essential Oils & Oleoresins – March 2016 Page 14
Sorting wild harvested sage leaf Poor practices in wild harvesting threaten the long terms sustainability of the sector, particularly for the herb harvests. Harvesting speed (and therefore productivity) can be significantly increased by uprooting whole plants, or using sickles to cut whole plants, but this directly reduces the size of the productive resource for future production. While wild harvested material dominates production volumes, there is increasing cultivation of crops, with the major ones cultivated being: lavender, rosemary, thyme, coriander, basil, and winter savory. EXPORT TRADE Export of medicinal and aromatic products (MAP) is estimated to account for around 60% of the total export of forestry products. A small but increasing production of essential oils is also developing as new and modern distillation units are established. Almost all MAP production is exported – around 95%. Overall, MAPs are estimated to account for around 20% of agricultural exports, and 35% of rural household income. Of all the different MAPs produced, sage and lavender dominate. In the past, sage was the dominant export, accounting for around 50% of MAP exports. More recently, however, there has been extensive development of lavender cultivation, and currently sage and lavender account around 90% of production (estimated at around 60% for lavender, and 30% for sage). Lavender is a much higher value production than sage – which is wild harvested from hillsides in the mountainous regions. Although lavender and sage dominate exports, a very wide diversity of different aromatic plants are produced and this product diversity makes Albania a very attractive origin in the medicinal and aromatic herb trade. The scale of this wild harvested range is illustrated by the 2001 data shown in the Table below. Market Insider Essential Oils & Oleoresins – March 2016 Page 15

The export market is dominated by Germany, which takes over 50% of exports, by both volume and value, followed by USA and Turkey.

SUPPLIERS OF EQUIPMENT Suppliers to the African market The distillation and extraction industry in Africa is relatively small and localised outside of the North African centers of Egypt and Morocco, and Southern Africa (South Africa, Swaziland). New entrants to the industry can find it hard to identify suppliers of equipment (stills, condensers, extractor vessels etc) in stainless steel, steam boilers, and other necessary materials (drums, jugs, filter papers etc). The development of the industry in Africa would benefit greatly if there was greater sharing of information on the location of suppliers. New entrants would find it easier to identify necessary suppliers, and the concentration of orders on particular suppliers would encourage the development of skills and expertise – this is particularly necessary in the areas of fabrication of stainless steel vessels and condensers. Some contacts of companies involved in the manufacture of distillation/extraction equipment or the capability to do so (primarily the capability to work with stainless steel) or supply of materials based in East Africa are given below. The Newsletter would welcome information from Readers on other suppliers of relevant equipment and materials from all regions of Africa, so that the listing can be expanded. Please send any information to marketinsider@intracen.org The contacts are provided as a service only. NO RECOMMENDATION IS IMPLIED. 1.
