Flo Aromatherapy's organic essential oils are certified by the leading organic certifying body in North America called the Quality Assurance International (QAI), and accredited by the USDA National Organic Program. As well our ECOCERT verified ingredients have been independently assessed to cover all relevant aspects from sourcing to distribution, including environmentally-friendly manufacturing processes, avoidance of GMO and prohibited substances, and the use of eco-friendly packaging.
This means you can be confident that our certified organic products adhere to the strictest of organic production practices and are free of toxic pesticides, herbicides, and synthetic fertilizers.
An organic certification implies that the product is a result of organic farming, which seeks to encourage environmental equilibrium and to protect as well as sustain biodiversity by incorporating environmentally- and animal-friendly methods that support the salvaging and reprocessing of resources. These eco-friendly methods involve:
- Rotating crops, which helps balance the soil’s nutrients and wards off pests.
- Composting and using “green” manures to introduce essential organic matter to the soil.
- Refining soil health and quality by protecting against soil erosion, and by helping soil maintain its crucial microbiology.
- Helping protect water from becoming contaminated.
- Using farming methods that require significantly lower amounts of energy than conventional practices.
- Avoiding monocropping, which causes the soil to lose nutrients and ultimately leads to decreased crop yields.
- Keeping detailed documentation that allows for comprehensive traceability of processes from the field to the final product.
Each time you choose to purchase a certified organic product, you support and help advance the growing movement that seeks to rectify the state of the environment.
