Materia Aromatics?

[dyingatheist]

Don't know if i'm allowed to aske this and but i love the smell of these organic oils but are they all they are cracked up to be?

It's just that i haven't seen them mentioned in the Essential oil suppliers post at all?

Think i'm swinging towards Kobasshi is that right? for an organic oil?

Hi, Ali,

I'm guessing you mean Materia Aromatica? In which case, you have nothing to worry about. The oilsare of very high quality. Their credentials can be found here: [link=http://www.materiaaromatica.com/acatalog/About.html]http://www.materiaaromatica.com/acatalog/About.html[/link]

You might also find the Aromatherapy Trade Council's membership list helpful ([link=http://www.a-t-c.org.uk/]http://www.a-t-c.org.uk/[/link]). As far as I'm concerned, it's the only list which aromatherapy practitioners can rely on. As you will see, Kobashi are also listed, so I'll leave the choice up to you!

Best,
Sophie

I have found Kobashi to be the best and 95% ethical. (They do still sell Sandalwood hence not 100% ethical).
I can't comment on the other supplier but would point out that the ATC only has a very small percentage of oversight ofthe essential oil trade (at a guess 3-5% if memory serves me well). Remember EOs are food flavourings and perfumes too.
