Specialties

We offer our customers a wide range of signature ingredients that come from both our historical expertise and also from our ongoing and extremely active research programmes…

  • The Signature range
  • The floral products
  • The gums and balsams
  • The ethically-sourced range
  • The "process"  products
  • The technical products
  • The molecular distillates
  • The isolates
  • The CO2 extracts
  • The biological ingredients

Ambrette , Flouve , Violet , Mimosa , to cite just a few of these outstanding products – these specialities bear witness to an expertise and base of knowledge handed down through multiple generations , and continue to be the true standard bearers of our company and our history.

Following the seasons , from the growing fields right up until the product is despatched to the customer , we take the maximum amount of care and precision with each stage in the processing of these delicate extracts.
From the concrete to the absolute , multiple steps are followed in our production units – washing , icing , filtration , successive clarifications , until we finally succeed in obtaining these precious extracts.

As a means of historically filling in during the downtime between floral production campaigns , Payan Bertrand developed a significant expertise in the processing of gums and balsams from all over the globe . Through distillation , after undergoing extraction and dry distillations , our company offers a very unique range of these specialty products.

They arise from meetings , human interaction , and numerous discussions in order to understand the complexities of production , quality , price , processing and minimizing the environmental impact for offering natural materials.
Our goal is to offer the finest specialities under sustainable conditions that respect the environment and humanity.

Revealing the true heart of a product , these 100% pure and natural concentrated fractions , adjusted as needed and derived from a confidential and proprietary treatment of the starting material , have become product ambassadors for our creativity and fulfil our concept of deluxe ingredients worthy of the PAYAN name.

Our production processes can be adapted to address technical and regulatory issues in formulations : reducing allergens , biological active elements , Btex… and all issues identified by IFRA or the restricted ingredient lists of customers will be carefully studied by our R&D team , in order to give the material in question a new life and to offer workable solutions to perfumers . Explore our ranges of low allergen , low BAPS , and low toluene materials.

The range of molecular distillates offers decolourized products processed under very high vacuum conditions , which is the optimal way to remove colour from delicate florals and certain essential oils.
The control of this multi-step process also lets our teams adjust and focus the product’s odour , by reducing the effect of certain undesirable top-notes.

A wide range of 100% pure and natural isolates typical of Payan Bertrand products , produced solely by physical fractionation , and then standardized by our perfumers for the best natural profile , whilst maintaining the strength and some of the most interesting characters of the starting essential oil.

Payan Bertrand offers some exceptional CO2 extracts developed by our R&D perfumers , Payan Bertrand has partnered with a large European producer and closely supervises the manufacture of these products in order to assure their quality and give them our CO2 attribution

A fine range of high-quality essential oils , isolates , process BIO , and organic-certified ingredients that can be integrated into all of your product developments.
