Roman Chamomile Essential Oil

Organic Standards

All Aqua Oleum organic essential oils & skin care products are certified by the Soil Association. This provides a guarantee of quality and high organic standards: thus their symbol is shown on our organic packaging. Their comprehensive standards mean there can be a large difference between a beauty product that has been certified and one that is merely described as ‘organic’ on the label. To ensure a product is guaranteed organic, look for the Soil Association (or Cosmo) symbol on the product before you buy. When you see the Soil Association symbol on a skin care or cosmetic product it means that:

1. The producer has had its manufacturing facility inspected annually by the Soil Association or another certifying body.

2. All product formulae and labels have been approved.

3. It will be clearly labelled so that you can make an informed choice about the product you are buying.

4. Any non-organic ingredients are being used because no organic equivalents were available.

5. All ingredients are GM free. Non-organic ingredients can only be used if their suppliers have submitted a declaration that it is non-GM.

6. It has used minimal non-organic additives and only those from a restricted list. These must be non-GM and can only be used if the organic version of that ingredient is not yet available.

7. Any processed ingredients are processed by ecologically sound means.
