Sustainability & Quality
Sustainability
For us, sustainability is not just a word; it motivates us and gives us strength in our daily work. That is what we stand for as Essences Bulgaria.
Our affair of the heart is to produce according to organic standards, with a meaningful rotation principle. Our focus is on agro-biodiversity to provide a wide habitat for healthy bees with a variety of flowering fields in different seasonal stages, so that we humans do not live from nature but in harmony with nature.
Working ethically and collaborating with the local people is another mainstay for us at Essences Bulgaria. In our economically rather underdeveloped rural community, we are an important employer and thus ensure the preservation and development of the community, and at the same time work against the emigration of the local population to Western European countries.
There are plenty of reasons to worry about the future, yet it is our aim and our duty to make the world a little bit better by caring for our local community on a daily basis.
Quality
We aim for quality excellence to justify our customers’ trust 100%. Our strict quality policy rewards our clients as well as our family and team hence we use various products from our product range ourselves on a daily basis.
The essential oils, hydrosols, and base oils from Essences Bulgaria originate from homegrown organic agriculture. Our family farm, our fields, and of course all of our products are fully organic certified.
We make sure our herbs are harvested at the right time and are handled with absolute care later on. The goal is to sustain the plant’s full spectrum of healing properties while gently processing the harvest.
Right here near the Danube River in the North of Bulgaria, we are blessed with some of the richest soils all over Europe. We achieve exceptional compositions of the plant’s active ingredients through the combination of excellent soils and positive climate conditions. Therefore, you can truly claim that Bulgaria is the mecca when it comes to producing essential oils.
Beyond that, we warrant all of our natural products with the following quality guarantee:
– no additives (e.g., aroma enhancers or artificial fragrances)
– no conservatives
– no synthetics and other solutions
– no mixtures with other oils (like cheap citronella or lemon grass in Melissa oil, which is a common practice among many big players in the essential oils industry)
– no GMO
– cruelty-free
– vegan
– lactose-free
– gluten-free
