Further information:
Ingredients:
Pure vegetable glycerine, made from certified sustainably sourced palm and palm kernel oil.
Our take on palm oil: we do actively try to avoid products that are produced from palm oil sources but sometimes it just isn’t possible. Therefore at a minimum, any products containing palm oil must be from certified sustainably sourced palm oil. Sustainably sourced palm oil may still be a better option than other alternatives, which although won’t carry the stigma that palm oil does, can still be farmed and produced unsustainably – in some cases in an even less sustainable manner than palm oil itself. The problem isn’t palm oil, it is the way in which unethical producers farm it. The way we see it, supporting certified sustainably sourced farmers will help change the way this product is farmed, leading to better environmental policies, while still supporting the communities that depend on palm farming.

About Standardised Essential oils:
Standardised essential oils are produced to achieve a standard scent, whereas a single species essential oil may vary in scent because it is an individual plant species that can naturally vary with season, rainfall, soil quality, geography and a variety of other factors. Standardising the scent by combining multiple species is a method of producing an oil that will always be similar in quality. Standardised oils can therefore be quite beneficial when scent reliability is required.
Standardised essential oils are pure essential oils which have not been diluted, filled or altered in any way. The only differentiating factor between standardised essential oils and others is that multiple variations of plant species are distilled.
