NHR Organic Oils Guarantees and Ethical Policy

NHR Organic Oils are certified Organic by the Soil Association. We have one of the largest ranges of Soil association certified Organic essential oils in the world.

All NHR oils are tested for absolute purity by gas liquid chromatography and all test certificates are freely available with every order. Each oil is meticulously chosen from samples from numerous farms all round the world, to pick not just an Organic essential oil but the purest certified Organic essential oil one can buy anywhere, that is what NHR stands for.

All ingredients are fully listed on the label - so you can make an informed choice. We don't use emulsifiers, artificial colourings or fragrances, synthetic additives or GMO's, not just no synthetic preservatives, we do not use ANY preservatives.

We only use pure Organic ingredients NOTHING ELSE. NHR stands for Purity and quality.

All our products are suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

No ingredients are tested on animals. In agreement with the 'Cosmetic Industry Coalition for Animal Welfare', cutoff date 1976. These are the strictest guidelines on animal testing in the UK. We are members of Naturewatch, a non-profit animal welfare campaigning organisation set up to promote the prevention of cruelty to animals.

NHR Organic Oils is a member of Ethical Junction, which provides information on positively screened companies and organisations and links the public to ethical and sustainable products and services.

Packaging:

For our current packaging we use 100% recycled brown envelopes, that are lined with biodegradable bubble wrap, biodegradable 'documents enclosed' packets, that contain the receipt (100% recycled paper) for the product, which is folded appropriately so it also works as the address label too. Any orders that are too big for bubble envelopes, we pack in shoe boxes are kindly saved by local shoe shops for us, the childrens ones are perfect for most orders, and all boxes for very large orders are ones we have received with deliveries that we re-use. All the packaging inside is either biodegradable 'snow' which is made from recycled material, or biodegradable bubble wrap, or it is packaging that we have received with incoming items and re-used, rather than thrown away. If you were referring to the essential oil products themselves, which come in tins -this is to protect the oils from light which is very important, and they are recycled aluminium.

NHR Organic Oils has voluntarily made the 'Truth in Labeling' pledge to meet the Natural Ingredient Resource Center criteria for labeling natural ingredients and products.

Our Code of Ethics

No ingredients are tested on animals, in agreement with the ‘Cosmetic Industry Coalition for Animal Welfare’ CICAW cut off date of 1976. This is the strictest guidelines on animal testing in the UK. STATING: NO ingredients which have been tested in animals since 1976 can be used in any product. This is in contrast to other standards used in the UK which say no ingredients can be used which have been tested on animals for 2 or 4 years only. Allowing companies to test their products on animals wait 2 years and then sell them saying " Have not been tested on Animals’ a bad loophole! Look for the Compassion/Truth logo 1976 on products.
