Certifications

In order for Garden of Life to offer a line of essential oils , we needed to go the extra mile to ensure that we provided oils that are both Certified USDA Organic and Non-GMO Project Verified . These third-party certifications aren ’ t easy to achieve , but well worth the effort to ensure that our essential oils are clean and without added carrier oils or synthetic ingredients .
