At SOiL, we believe in full transparency and third-party verification to back our claims of purity and sustainability. Our certifications include:

• Ecocert Greenlife – COSMOS ORGANIC certification for cosmetic products, ensuring they meet rigorous organic and ecological criteria.
• KIWA BCS Öko-Garantie certification for agricultural organic production, confirming that the essential oil crops we grow meet international organic farming standards.
• Fair for Life certification, recognising our commitment to fair trade principles, ethical labour practices, and social responsibility.
• Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) compliance, which ensures that our production processes meet quality and hygiene standards expected for cosmetic and natural health products.

These certifications reflect our dedication to producing authentic, safe, and sustainable aromatherapy products.

Key considerations include:

• Certification: Look for third-party organic certification, not just claims.
• Purity testing: Reliable brands share GC/MS results and batch documentation.
• Transparency: Know where and how the oils are sourced.
• Sustainability: Responsible brands care for people, plants, and planet.
• Experience: A brand rooted in aromatherapy, not just trend marketing.

Conventional essential oils may be grown using synthetic pesticides, herbicides, and GMOs, and may be extracted with chemical solvents. They often lack traceability or purity assurance.

Certified organic essential oils, like those from SOiL, are produced without harmful chemicals, from farm to shelf. They undergo annual audits by independent bodies (e.g. Ecocert Greenlife) to ensure ecological, ethical, and safety standards are upheld.
