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. Responsible Sourcing Building a solid supply chain starts with sourcing the highest quality raw materials from native organic farmers that understand the dynamics of seeds, soil and conditions. For over 168 years, our sourcing partner’s primary goals have been to provide pure botanicals while: • PRESERVING OUR RESOURCES—water, energy, raw materials • REDUCING OUR WASTE—industrial waste, packaging and other consumables • PROMOTING AND ENHANCING LOCAL LIFE 100% Pure Extraction Methods The key to capturing the aromatic essence and therapeutic benefits of essential oils lies in our pristine extraction process. Our unique organic extraction processes provide the assurance that our oils are of the highest quality, purity and efficacy. All of our oils (except for the citrus botanicals) are carefully made using a unique steam distillation while our citrus oils are created using the rind in our cold-pressed expression method.

To guarantee the highest level of quality, we ensure each batch of our oils is subjected to rigorous testing to ensure standards are met for authenticity, purity, potency and efficacy.
