The Problem

TS Aromatics needed a procurement platform that could communicate technical legitimacy to serious B2B buyers — manufacturers, wellness founders, and formulators who demand GC/MS documentation, molecular transparency, and ingredient intelligence. The existing site lacked the technical depth to support procurement teams making sourcing decisions. Competitors in the essential oils space either had deep documentation but poor user experience, or beautiful design with no technical substance. The client needed both.

System Overview

We built a platform that combines scientific rigour with premium brand experience. Every element — from the scroll-driven fluid simulation to the interactive chromatogram — serves the dual purpose of engaging visitors while demonstrating technical credibility. The architecture connects product catalogue, GC/MS data visualization, molecular exploration, procurement workflow, and educational content into a single sensorial interface. A heat-reactive design system responds to user attention, making the page feel alive and responsive.

Key Challenges
01

Overcoming the trust deficit in B2B procurement — buyers need scientific proof before committing to bulk orders

02

Making complex analytical chemistry (GC/MS data, EMG peak shapes) accessible and engaging for non-scientists

03

Building a 3D molecular explorer that is scientifically accurate while remaining performant on consumer hardware

04

Implementing IFRA compliance overlays across 127 products without manual data entry per product

05

Creating an Academy experience that goes beyond articles into gamified certification and learning paths

06

Supporting full bilingual (English/Hindi) content without splitting the codebase

07

Designing a B2B enquiry workflow that balances flexibility with structured data capture

Design Decisions

How We Solved It

01

'Technical Premium' UX philosophy

The design language rejects the choice between scientific depth and brand experience. Every feature — from the interactive chromatogram to the molecular explorer — is treated as both a usability element and a trust-building asset. The philosophy: when complex information is made visible and interactive, it becomes a competitive advantage rather than a usability obstacle.

02

Heat-reactive ambient interface

The scroll-driven heat system controls bubble physics, glow opacity, and turbulence across the page. As the user scrolls, the environment responds — creating a physical, embodied browsing experience that mirrors the natural-origin products being sold.

03

Chromatogram as hero element

Instead of hiding technical data in PDFs, we built an interactive Canvas 2D chromatogram with real EMG peak shapes, an animated scan line, and hover-to-identify tooltips. This turns analytical chemistry into a visual selling point.

04

3D molecular storytelling

The 3D Molecular Explorer uses Three.js and React Three Fiber to render a force-directed graph of 47 molecules with weighted edges, hover glow effects, and IFRA restriction rings. This helps buyers understand the chemical profile of each oil at a glance.

05

IFRA Compliance Overlays & Chemical Signature Search

Each product page includes IFRA compliance data overlaid on the GC/MS chromatogram, showing restriction levels and safe usage limits. The Chemical Signature reverse search lets buyers identify oils by their molecular profile — a feature that turns the product catalogue into a research tool.

06

Global sourcing transparency

A 3D globe with animated arc dashes from India to 5 international ports visualizes the supply chain. This builds trust by showing procurement teams exactly where and how products are sourced and shipped.

07

Academy Gamification

Beyond static articles, the Academy includes certification paths and gamified learning modules that reward buyers for completing courses on aromatherapy science, IFRA compliance, and quality assessment.

Interface Screens

The Work

The platform spans product catalog, technical documentation, educational content, and a B2B enquiry workflow — all unified by the ambient, heat-reactive design system.

Reflection

This project proved that B2B platforms do not have to choose between technical depth and beautiful design. The most effective move was treating scientific data as a design material rather than hiding it behind PDF links. When complex information is made visible and interactive, it becomes a trust-building asset rather than a usability obstacle. The 'Technical Premium' approach — where every scientific feature is also a brand experience — redefined how the client thinks about their digital presence.

Process & Progress

Concept & Strategy

The 'Technical Premium' Approach

Identified a gap in the essential oils B2B market: competitors either had deep scientific documentation with poor UX, or beautiful design with no technical substance. Proposed a 'Technical Premium' philosophy where every scientific feature is also a brand experience — turning GC/MS data, molecular structures, and compliance documentation into interactive, trust-building design assets rather than hidden PDFs.

Core Experience Development

Interactive Chromatogram Engine

Built a Canvas 2D chromatogram renderer that plots real EMG (Exponentially Modified Gaussian) peak shapes from GC/MS data. Features include an animated scan line, hover-to-identify tooltips showing compound names and retention times, and a visual legend mapping peaks to molecules. This single feature turned analytical chemistry from a barrier into a hero element.

3D Molecular Explorer

Developed a force-directed molecular graph using Three.js and React Three Fiber. Renders 47 molecules with weighted edges showing chemical relationships, hover glow effects for compound identification, and IFRA restriction rings that visually indicate regulatory boundaries. Each molecule node opens detailed compound information.

Global Sourcing Globe

Created a 3D globe visualization with animated arc dashes tracing shipping routes from India to 5 international ports (New York, London, Dubai, Singapore, Sydney). Each arc animates on scroll, showing sourcing transparency and supply chain visibility.

Content & Internationalization

127 Product Pages & Academy

Built and populated 127 product pages with GC/MS documentation, Certificate of Analysis builder, IFRA compliance overlays, and badge rules. Each product can be filtered by category, chemical profile, and compliance status. The Academy section includes 8 technical articles and gamified certification paths covering aromatherapy science and quality assessment.

Bilingual Architecture

Implemented full English/Hindi i18n using next-intl with cookie-based detection and SEO-optimized alternate language URLs. All 127 product pages, academy content, and UI elements are translated without code duplication.
