Penny Price Aromatherapy, purveyors of the finest therapeutic essential oils available, with quality and safety standards second to none.
Penny Price Aromatherapy has always taken pride in using only the finest, natural, sustainable oils & ingredients to sell on to the professional Clinical Aromatherapist as well as for our pre-blended ranges which have been loving put together by Penny and the team.
All of our essential oils are naturally farmed without pesticides or insecticides and we take pride in our policy to not stock synthetic products. We do not use lanolin, synthetic perfumes or animal products in our vegan accredited, natural Aromatherapy Skincare or our blended creams. The pure nature of these products ensures they can all be used safely on the skin.
Purchasing from Penny Price Aromatherapy will give you peace of mind that you are investing in products that reflect our beliefs to only source natural, organic ingredients.
A belief we have held since day one. Our Essential Oils, Carriers Oils, Base Products, Hydrolats and many more products have been recently certified by the SOIL Association and we are now proud to display their natural badge! Our Vegan Nurture Hair & Body Care, Illuminous Skincare, Black Spruce for Men and our Nurture Mummy, Baby and Daddy ranges have all been certified by The Vegan Society.
Our harvests from Southern France and other parts of the world can be visited so that you can be assured of the
natural environments and methods of extraction
We’re proud to be a member of the Aromatherapy Trade Council (ATC) - the trade association for specialist Aromatherapy essential oils - and the Soil Association certifies all of our most important ingredients, including our essential oils, which we use in our lovely products for you to enjoy. We believe the quality and wholeness of any essential oil used in aromatherapy practice is of paramount importance irrespective of the cost.
Some essential oils available on the market are used in flavours and fragrances and the taste and the aroma respectively are the most important considerations. For the food and perfume industries essential oils may need to be adjusted or changed to suit the need of the purchaser or vendor, Penny Price do not supply this grade of essential oil as therapeutic essential oils come from living plants and possess a living synergy. Synthetic materials, which look and smell the same as an essential oil, cannot replicate this synergy.
Farming methods employed for growing therapeutic essential oil producing plants for aromatherapy should be free of pesticides, artificial fertiliser, located away from main roads and grown in countries with suitable weather conditions. Many factors influence the growth – the amount of sun and rain, the soil condition, the height above sea level. The nearer the sun, the cleaner the air and the more energy is absorbed by the plant.
Often non-therapeutic essential oils are redistilled because they need to be “standardised”. They are also often clarified or rectified. This, while being the norm for perfumery, interferes with the “whole oil” and can also interfere with the properties of the oil. Oils used for aromatherapy treatments should be whole and unadulterated as this reduces the possibility of skin reactions or side effects.
These oils are Therapeutic grade essential oils and the only oils Penny Price Aromatherapy provides.
The ultimate value of the therapeutic essential oils used is totally dependent on the quality of the live plants, the way the oils are extracted, and the way they are handled after extraction. High standards that focus on product purity are critically important. The best therapeutic essential oils come from wild, naturally farmed or organically grown plants. Quality oils will always be priced according to the value and rarity of the particular oil, and will never be lumped into one price point based on bottle size.
It should be mentioned that pesticides are not usually distilled because the molecules are not volatile – they are too large. This is obviously important in the case of expressed oils when the pesticides could enter the oil – all citrus fruits should be organically grown to avoid this. Fertilisers that make the plant grow are often not used in poorer areas because the farmers cannot afford them. In some cases, there is no point in making the plant larger as the volume of essential oils produced can remain the same.
All of the Penny Price range of therapeutic essential oils are either organically grown or naturally farmed. The term ‘naturally farmed’ means that the field in which the plants are grown, the environment in which they develop, and the plants themselves are unaffected by pollution, fertilisers, pesticides or any other interferant. To gain an organic certificate for a crop, many farmers in many countries have to pay the government to inspect the field. Since they often do not have the resources to do this (and it is obvious that the oil is organic), the oils are marketed as naturally farmed.
These are the oils Penny Price Aromatherapy prefers to buy. The company supports farmers who are diligent in their profession. We believe that to support such people will lead to equality in trade. We hope that you too are happy to support these struggling farmers.
Tested and Certified
Our therapeutic essential oils are laboratory tested with gas chromatography and certified to be true. When these oils are used, the quality is evident in the full vitality of the fragrance.
