DEFINITION
Essential
oils are plant extracts. They are various volatile organic materials present
in plants usually containing terpenes and esters and having the aroma or
flavour of the plant.
QUALITIES
Fragrant
Earth are renowned around the world for the quality of their essential
oils. Not enough people realise that there are different grades and
qualities of essential oils. Everything you read and see claims to
be the best! Have you ever seen an advertisement or label that says
'poor quality, low grade'. We very much doubt it. It's clear
that low grades do exist and this is often reflected in the price.
THE DIFFERENCES
We
love plants and want to give the best that nature can offer. So we
concern ourselves with where the plant is grown and how it is grown, etc.
We also believe that we were born to live and work in a Fragrant Earth
so, for us, the impact and vitality of the aroma counts for as much as
the growing method. We like to know all about our essential oils
and other products – the provenance.
In
the world of essential oils there are, roughly speaking, different sectors
– Pure & Natural, Natural, Industrial, Nature Identical. There
are blends, adulterations, extensions, fractionations, rectifications plus
poor distillations, poor harvests – this list goes on. That's why
so many professional therapists have come to rely upon Fragrant Earth because
we have never compromised our essential oils. We trade in the best
available for those who demand the highest quality and that extra something
found in the elusive fragrance of nature.
CARING
Whether
in medicine ,aromatherapy, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics or perfumery, our
customers are those who want the best and effective for their end use.
We serve the caring professional and we work alongside those who care at
every stage from plant to person. This is why we emphasise 'wild
crafting' and 'organic growing' and pay attention to environmental issues.
This is why we use analysis as a tool rather than using it to rectify a
poor product. For us, nature is supreme. We measure its yield,
not alter its being.
Fragrant Earth
is a very different company.
