When we talk about organic aromatherapy oils, what do we actually mean? Aromatherapy products, by definition, are organic in the sense that they are made using natural plant oils instead of synthetic ingredients. However, the term ‘organic’ now carries with it another connotation – one that suggests that only naturally occurring materials have been used in the production of the goods, whether that is a fruit, a vegetable, or an aromatherapy oil.

Just because an aromatherapy oil is usually used externally, and is therefore not usually consumed as a food by users, if it is marked ‘organic’ it should adhere to the same guidelines as those adhered to by food producers. This means that to be described as organic and having been made with organic ingredients, it should contain a minimum of seventy percent non-water or non-salt agricultural organic content in weight. This ensures that the product was manufactured using ecologically-sound components, and its toxicity is kept to a minimum.

If you are purchasing organic essential oils, make sure that they conform to these standards. There are a number of industry standards that UK and EU manufacturers of organic products must follow, but the main ones are those set by the Soil Association Standards for Organic Farming and Regulation (EEC). If a product meets the requirements set by this organization, they should have a licence number to prove it. Certification is renewed every year or so, so bear this is mind if you see any organic certificates that were awarded more than two years ago.
