Nobs Naturals is an independent family operated company based in El Salvador that produces and sources natural raw materials for the F&F industries. Our journey starts in 1983 consulting with F&F experts on advisory visits to El Salvador working with UN agency UNIDO Industrial Utilization of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants Programme, GTZ (later GIZ), CBI, and KDC. Founded in 1984 and run by Javier Francés for almost 40 years, Nobs is now run by his daughter Andrea Francés, a Chemical Engineer trained at ISIPCA, who represents the second generation of Nobs, a Salvadoran company with four decades of experience. Both Javier and Andrea been speakers at IFEAT & WPC (IFEAT Buenos Aires 2001, IFEAT San Francisco 2013, WPC Miami 2016 & IFEAT Bali 2019), and their work on a new origin for Cascarilla Bark and on sustainable sourcing of Peru Balsam has been published in Perfumer & Flavorist. We design ingredients from natural origins for the F&F industry, making unique products that inspire perfumers and flavorists to create exceptional finished products. We adapt the extraction process at the best efficiency for each of the ingredients being extracted from the vegetative material (cold pressed, hydrodiffusion and solvent extraction). We have worked hand in hand with Central American communities at every step of the supply chain in order to create added value to the ingredients that we transform in our region, in that way ensuring long term sustainability. Our current offering includes: - Peru Balsam & Styrax Gum (Purified Resin, Absolute, & EO) - Coffee (Cold Pressed Oil & Absolute) - Cascarilla EO - Beeswax Absolute We can also supply other natural ingredients that grow in the region or are able to be harvested in tropical/ subtropical climates. Nobs Naturals has the capacity to work up from the agricultural or sourcing stage to the final essential oil or extract, open to exploring contract manufacturing opportunities or other agreements in partnership with our clients.
