Sustainable & Natural Practices in Our Manufacturing Process
Sustainable & Natural Practices in Our Manufacturing Process
At Hari Bhai Shah, we believe that true luxury lies in purity, tradition, and sustainability. For over four generations, our family has been committed to crafting natural attars, rose water, and Gulkand in Kannauj—the perfume capital of India.
Our manufacturing process combines traditional methods with eco-friendly practices, ensuring that every product you receive is pure, authentic, and respectful of nature.
1. Handpicked Natural Ingredients
We carefully select fresh Damask roses, sandalwood, and herbs directly from trusted fields and gardens. No artificial fragrances, colors, or chemicals are added—just nature at its finest.
2. Traditional Wooden Deg-Bhapka Distillation
We continue to use the age-old hydro-distillation process (deg-bhapka), which involves copper vessels and clay sealing. This slow, natural process ensures quality without relying on industrial machinery or harmful additives.
3. Natural Sun-Drying & Aging
For Gulkand, rose petals are layered with natural sugar and allowed to mature under the gentle warmth of the sun, preserving nutrients and flavor without artificial preservatives.
4. Eco-Friendly Packaging Choices
We are moving towards recyclable glass bottles and jars for our products, reducing plastic usage and ensuring better preservation of aroma and freshness.
5. Zero Waste Philosophy
Rose petals left after distillation are repurposed as organic compost.
Wooden barrels and vessels are reused for generations.
Minimal electricity is used in the process—most steps rely on natural heat and manual labor.
6. Supporting Local Communities
Our sourcing and manufacturing provide livelihood opportunities for local farmers and artisans in Kannauj, helping preserve traditional craftsmanship and sustainable rural development.
7. No Harmful Chemicals
All our products are free from parabens, sulfates, alcohol, and synthetic fragrances—ensuring safe use on skin, in food, and in wellness practices.
Why Sustainability Matters to Us
For us, sustainability isn’t just a practice—it’s a tradition. By keeping our methods natural and eco-friendly, we ensure that the legacy of Kannauj perfumery lives on for future generations, while giving our customers pure, authentic products.
