Meet the newest member of our certifications family
We’ve welcomed a new certification into our group of trusted third-party verifiers – Ecogarantie. We’re excited to share what this gold-standard organic certification stands for, what it means for our products, and why we believe it’s an important step toward greater transparency, sustainability, and trust.
The importance of certifications
Aromatherapy can be a confusing topic, from what essential oils are to what carrier oils are. When both are called oils, it’s easy to see where the confusion comes in. And in a day and age where the devil can be in the details, it’s important to understand a few key components when it comes to aromatherapy. One of those is certifications, and their meanings. A certification can be one sure-fire way to know you’re getting a quality product. Let’s look at one of the newest to the market and how it speaks to quality aromatherapy products.
What is Ecogarantie?
Ecogarantie is an organic certification born in Belgium, a country within the European Union known for its strict regulations around personal care products.
Ecogarantie ensures products meet strict standards for:
- Sustainable & ethical sourcing practices
- Cruelty-free commitments
- Rigorous purity and farming standards
- Social responsibility
- Strict environmental standards
- GMO-free ingredients
- 100% organic natural ingredients
Why are organic aromatherapy products important?
As we know, anything we put on our skin ends up being absorbed and brought into the body. The skin is the largest organ our body has and does a lot of hard work – so it’s important that we treat it with the care it deserves.
The Ecogarantie certification at Pranarōm is applied to all of our Virgin Plant Oils. These are the fixed, carrier oils used to dilute essential oils and safely deliver them to our skin.
With something so essential to our daily routines, it’s important to consider the quality of all products used—even if they are primarily used as a delivery system.
Ecogarantie, USDA & EcoCert
Ecogarantie joins Pranarōm’s collection of trusted organic certifications, which also includes USDA Organic and EcoCert Organic.
USDA Organic is a governmental certification widely recognized in the United States. It was originally designed for agricultural crops intended for consumption and offers familiarity and consumer trust.
EcoCert is a French independent certification body created with a strong focus on cosmetics and personal care products, making it highly relevant for aromatherapy applications.
Ecogarantie operates in a similar space, specifically supporting natural health, aromatherapy, and personal care products with strict environmental and ethical standards.
When it comes to your essential oils and virgin plant oils, don’t leave quality to guesswork. Choose products with certifications designed for their specific use. Ecogarantie provides exactly that with its careful, thoughtful approach to aromatherapy.
