A clear ingredient grounded in measurable data
Pur Concerto is a boreal blend formulated with a precise objective: to achieve, in the finished product, a controlled balance of (–)-α-pinene and (–)-β-pinene, at approximately 15% each, derived exclusively from the natural biosynthesis of conifers.
The name Concerto reflects this approach: an intentional balance, achieved through the complementarity of GC profiles—with no additions, no isolation, and no artificial standardization.
This approach is based on :
- transparent GC-FID/GC-MS analyses,
- an enantiomeric distribution naturally oriented toward the (–) forms,
- • and a critical reading of the scientific literature on monoterpenes, used as a formulation framework, without any usage claims.
For formulation and purchasing teams, Pur Concerto is:
- a measurable composite raw material,
- consistent from batch to batch,
- traceable, documented, and easy to justify internally.
For the formulator, buyer or ingredients manager: complete GC profiles are available on request.
