Robertet has debuted a new range of essential oils in powder form for the nutraceutical market. The company’s proprietary, patented technology Natur-Cell is a unique and natural encapsulation technology that uses inulin as a matrix to protect the entire essential oil profile and to turn them into powders. Inulin is a soluble fiber and a prebiotic, which acts as an active and technical carrier with positive benefits on digestion and transit. This unique technology provides new opportunities for the use of essential oils in powder formats, the company said.
 
There is growing trust in the effectiveness of essential oils for numerous health indications. According to Transparency Market Research, the global market value for essential oils is expected to grow from $17.4 billion in 2017 to $27.5 billion in 2022, with increasing use of essential oils in aromatherapy.
 
The diversity of Robertet’s new range will allow nutraceutical companies to address a large variety of health indications, including digestion, immunity, or relaxation. Natural health products are often perceived by consumers as safer options compared to conventional medicine. Committed to sustainable development and fair-trade practices, all of Robertet’s essential oils are also available in organic-certified versions.
