R & D Labs is an US based company in the field of product innovation, product improvement, and seeking out good quality material for the clientele and consumers. Currently we are engaged in sourcing high quality, 100% pure essential oils from the sub-continent. Very soon we will be expanding our sourcing from every continent where essential oils are available. We have a keen understanding of this field and are always looking out for new and exotic materials. But these sources must be sustainable and ethically produced using best practices.
Essential oils are extracted from different parts of plants using different techniques of extraction. The plants are grown at farms, harvested at the appropriate time, and then brought in for processing (usually steam distillation). Other techniques that may be employed are using carbon dioxide, solvent extraction, and other advanced techniques. The oils are then tested for purity by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (GC/MS). We also do an olfactory test by experienced technicians.
We have two brands. Terra Veda is for essential oils, coco coir, and in the future freeze-dried fruits.Tcstarts is for tissue cultured foliage plants; however, this will be primarily for wholesalers at the commercial level. Tcstarts will come online in the foreseeable future.
