Where Our Materials Come From — The Expo Organics Sourcing Map

Most of our 293 SKUs are manufactured in our two Delhi-NCR plants from raw materials grown across India. For the premium, origin-specific materials where geography matters — Bulgarian rose, Moroccan argan, Omani frankincense, Haitian vetiver — we maintain transparent specialty sourcing relationships. Origin is declared on every COA. Buyers know exactly where their material came from.

Why origin transparency matters

In the bulk aromatic ingredients trade, “origin-specific” claims are often made without verifiable documentation. Counterfeit Bulgarian rose, blended Mysore sandalwood, mislabelled Atlas cedarwood — all are real procurement risks in this category.

Our policy: origin is declared on every COA. Origin certificates issued by the relevant country chamber-of-commerce or commodity board are available on request. Where applicable (Atlas cedarwood, certain sandalwood sources), CITES paperwork is included. The retain-sample reference is held for 36 months — if a buyer later needs to verify origin via independent NABL or origin-DNA testing, the retain is available.
