Aroma-Zone's quality standards offer you the best of Nature
Since its creation, Aroma-Zone has upheld one unwavering commitment: to offer you the finest quality products at the fairest price. This quality approach is built on three key pillars: the scientific expertise of our teams of engineers, Doctors of Pharmacy, and top-level chemists; the long-standing partnerships we have forged with our producers; and a direct business model with no intermediaries, from us to you. Beyond this virtuous ecosystem, our commitment to quality is reflected every day in the demanding process our products undergo before reaching you. Scientific research to assess a product’s benefits, rigorous selection of the best batches, flawless traceability, laboratory analyses, and strict verification of both efficacy and safety all guarantee natural skincare of exceptional excellence.
If we had to sum up the secret behind Aroma-Zone quality, it would be this: a lot of passion, scientific precision, rigorous quality control, and a unique understanding of natural raw materials.

Top quality at a fair price
1) Offering the best of Nature for everyone
As a preamble, we think it's important to answer a question you often ask us.
How do we combine high quality with affordable prices?
When we talk about a fair price, we mean a price that is accessible to all pockets, while paying the producer a good rate, rewarding the work that is done at its fair value. We are able to offer you attractive prices without ever compromising on quality thanks to our unique model, with no intermediaries, no resellers, minimalist bottles and very limited marketing expenditure.
Our desire to popularise high-quality, healthy products and to make a more natural lifestyle accessible to everyone is what Aroma-Zone is all about.

2) We favour products grown using ecological and organic farming methods
Whenever possible, we always choose to grow our products organically or ecologically. This is both to guarantee the absence of pesticides in your care and to prevent and avoid pollution. We favour organic products that protect the soil, water and human health by avoiding the use of synthetic fertilisers and pesticides. Cosmetics, essential oils, hydrosols - we offer a wide range of certified ORGANIC skincare products to look after your health, well-being and skin.
For several years now, we have been switching as soon as possible from conventional cultivation to more environmentally-friendly organic versions. This applies to our essential oils and raw plant materials (oils, plant butters, plant powders, etc.).
3) We guarantee 100% pure, fresh, unprocessed products
We offer you the purest, freshest (recently harvested), unprocessed, 100% raw plant extracts so you can benefit from all their active ingredients. 100% pure virgin carrier oils, highly concentrated 100% pure and preservative-free hydrosols, 100% pure, 100% natural and 100% whole, unmodified essential oils... We have always felt strongly about the benefits of 100% natural products and were among the first to promote them. To guarantee they are pure, all our batches undergo physico-chemical and organoleptic analysis and gas chromatography to examine our essential oils and carrier oils, so that we know their exact biochemical composition. This stringent quality control system enables us to actively prevent any possibility of batch fraud and to guarantee you a 100% pure product.

4) Harvesting, distillation, pressing: our producers work by using their know-how and expertise
Whether they are distillers, oil-makers or ayurvedic powder specialists, we work with a network of partners with unique and valuable know-how. Cold-pressing an oilseed to obtain an oxidation-free carrier oil or distilling aromatic plants to obtain an essential oil with the perfect biochemical composition requires precise knowledge and strict application of it. Take lavender fine essential oil, for example. The quality of this essential oil, in terms of both its scent and its effectiveness, is the result of a whole range of factors: altitude, soil quality, cultivation method, the time the plant is harvested, how quickly the lavender sprigs are distilled to prevent them from heating up and fermenting before distillation, the temperature, duration and type of distillation vat. This is where the producer-distiller's know-how comes into its own, respecting the plant and producing a premium quality essential oil.
5) We cultivate relationships of trust with our producers
The Aroma-Zone adventure has its roots in the land. With patience and exacting standards, our brand has built up a unique network of plant producers in France, Europe and the rest of the world, where plants do not flourish in our latitudes. This network has grown over the years, with a shared commitment to quality and innovation.
The long-standing knowledge of our growers, the independent audits carried out on our partners' premises and the results of accredited laboratories on the quality of our products all go hand in hand to guarantee a global quality approach.
6) Biochemical composition & therapeutic quality
Our essential oils are rigorously sourced to offer you exceptional quality in both molecular terms and olfactory terms. We pay close attention to the botanical varieties of the plants grown, to their very precise geographical origin, to the altitude, which plays a crucial role in the composition of certain essential oils, and of course to the biochemical composition of the essential oil, which is the result of all these factors.
We select only the best batches, those whose biochemical composition demonstrates optimal therapeutic quality.
For each batch of essential oils, we check that their biochemical composition matches the expected therapeutic benefits, in order to guarantee maximum effectiveness.
7) No natural product is standardised
We work with a living material: plants. Each year, as with wine for example, the 'vintages' of our plant extracts are different. Heat or, on the contrary, rainfall, number of days in the sun, temperature variations, climatic hazards... All these factors influence the biochemical composition of our plant extracts. As a result, you may sometimes notice slight variations in the smell or colour of your favourite raw materials. However, each batch we offer you always meets the highest quality standards.
"Working with natural raw materials, whose appearance, smell, origin and availability can vary according to the seasons and harvests, we have to manage a lot of changes!"
Emilie Jolibois, chemical engineer, head of the "Ingredients" division within Aroma-Zone's Innovation & Products department.
Scientific expertise at the service of the product

1) The AZ ecosystem: science & experience
Doctors of pharmacy, chemical engineers, quality control technicians, toxicologists, cosmetic formulators - our teams are made up of experienced scientists who work in synergy to formulate our products, evaluate them, carry out quality controls, market our products and then monitor their quality. Expert and passionate, our teams have built up unparalleled experience and knowledge of plant raw materials and aromatherapy over the last 25 years, publishing several books on the subject.
2) Traceability and transparency
From the outset, transparency has been at the heart of our commitments. In the world of our raw materials, we share with you the method of cultivation, the certification, the production process, the origin of the product and all the traceability information and analyses for each batch (in particular the main biochemical constituents).
As far as our finished products and cosmetic care products are concerned, all our compositions are detailed and unpacked with a focus on each ingredient, with a constant concern for education.
This transparency commits us to offering you products of the highest quality. It allows you to make your purchases with a clear conscience, in a free and informed manner.
This transparency has also shaken up the codes of traditional cosmetics and initiated a movement to clarify the world of skincare and aromatherapy.
3) Focus on our Quality Laboratory
In our Quality Laboratory, we work every day to control our plant extracts, cosmetic ingredients and finished products using rigorous procedures involving different methods of analysis: physical, chemical and microbiological. These controls involve, for example, checking for the absence of micro-organisms such as bacteria, yeasts and moulds, or for the presence of pathogenic germs, in accordance with specifications and regulations. Each of our batches is checked before it is put on the market to guarantee total safety of use.
Our experienced quality control technicians work by speciality: microbiology, chromatography and physicochemistry.
What quality analyses are carried out on your products?
All our raw materials, active cosmetic ingredients and finished products are subject to release controls before use and marketing in our Quality laboratory.
1. Our laboratory teams carry out the following analyses:
Organoleptic tests
Physical-chemical controls
Microbiological controls
2. These criteria are defined on the basis of several items of information:
the characteristics of the products defined in a specification by our Research & Development department, with a check on each batch
regulatory characteristics, with each batch checked
monitoring characteristics to check naturalness and the absence of fraud: defined by our quality control plan.
Below are details of the various tests carried out for each product family (chromatography for essential oils, peroxide indices for carrier oils, microbiological analyses and application tests for our cosmetics, etc.).
3. Quality tests are also carried out by independent laboratories, partners of Aroma-Zone, such as :
Naturalness control for essential oils: measurement of bio-based carbon, chiral gas phase analysis, etc.
Specific microbiological analyses
Purity checks, verification of the absence of heavy metals on plant powders and food supplements
We are taking action to preserve natural resources

1) Preserving biodiversity
We take care not to deplete natural resources by working with our suppliers to develop cultivation and production methods that protect ecosystems (organic farming, agro-ecology, ecological and innovative production processes). When our products come from wild plants, the plants are harvested in a responsible and reasoned way in order to preserve the natural resources available while allowing the plants to regenerate.
In addition, certain raw materials are subject to regulations in order to protect the biodiversity from which they come. As a result, supplies of certain raw materials are limited, which explains why they may be unavailable for sale for varying periods of time.
2) Why do stocks run out?
At Aroma-Zone we offer products from very specific origins: Corsica, Provence and Madagascar, for example, for plants from further afield. These plant extracts are subject to Nature's cycle and are harvested only once a year.
The quantity produced in these exceptional places is limited, making the material all the more precious. As a result, it is sometimes difficult to obtain sufficient quantities. These references will therefore be unavailable for sale until the next harvest. Plants teach us to take our time and respect the seasons.
Ready-to-use range: our formulation charter

Our quality commitments for our raw ingredients
1) Our Quality Charter
The raw materials and ingredients we use are as fresh and natural as possible. Whenever possible, we always opt for certified organic farming. Our clays, plant powders, essential oils, carrier oils and hydrosols are guaranteed to be 100% pure and natural.
We want to provide you with products meeting the highest quality standards, in complete transparency. For example, our essential oils are 100% pure, unmodified (except in special cases where this is required in order to obtain the best quality, such as Eucalyptus globulus) and unprocessed. Most of our carrier oils are virgin, from the first cold pressing, and unrefined, and our hydrosols are concentrated, pure and preservative-free.
We select safe cosmetic ingredients and active ingredients that are non-controversial and have no harmful effects on health. All our cosmetic ingredients are approved by the Ecocert/Cosmos certification body for their 'green' production processes. Ingredients and active ingredients are assessed for their efficacy, cosmetic benefits, ease of use and adaptability to home cosmetics.
We are committed to highlighting the work and expertise of our producers, without whom nothing would be possible.
We are also committed to ensuring that all our launches are free from palm oil or contain RSPO palm oil (certified from sustainable cultivation). We are developing innovative processes to avoid using endangered plant species.
Essential Oils
Our essential oils are pure and natural, complete and unmodified. They are rigorously selected according to exacting specifications. We select the finest batches on the basis of their freshness, geographical origin and biochemical composition, controlling their content of specific molecules that ensure their therapeutic benefits.
So as not to alter their therapeutic virtues, the essential oils must be 100% pure and natural, and not mixed with perfumes, synthetic molecules or other less expensive essential oils.
To enjoy all the benefits of aromatherapy for your health and well-being, our essential oils are :

100% pure and natural : not denatured by synthetic ingredients, not diluted or mixed with other ingredients or essential oils.
100% integral: not modified, not rectified (except in special cases to remove undesirable compounds from specific EOs), not bleached.
The vast majority of our essential oils are certified ORGANIC, with 112 references from certified organic farming.
Our essential oils are rigorously selected according to exacting specifications.
We guarantee total traceability, from the fields to the bottle. The origin and date of production are known for each batch, and no mixing of batches is tolerated.
Precise identification of the plant: verification of the botanical name and the part of the plant distilled.
Quality analysis of our essential oils:
We carry out physico-chemical analyses on each batch (density, etc.) as well as gas chromatography coupled with a mass spectrometer to check compliance with the expected composition and biochemical specificity.
All our essential oils are chemotyped*, which means that we have checked their biochemical specificity or EOBBD (*Essential Oil Botanically and Biochemically Defined).
We carry out organoleptic tests according to the control: odour, colour, appearance, etc.
We check all traceability records: origin, certification, botanical name, processing method.
We check the peroxide values of certain essential oils to guarantee optimum composition.

Plant oils
We offer virgin carrier oils made from the first cold-pressing of the vast majority of plants grown organically, extracted within the year and 100% pure. This extraction method, combined with the freshness of the oil, guarantees oils of the highest quality, with their properties intact. Our oily macerates are obtained from fresh or pre-dried organically-grown plants, infused in an ORGANIC carrier oil.
Quality analysis of our carrier oils
We carry out a gas chromatographic analysis coupled with a mass spectrometer to check that the expected composition in terms of major fatty acids and other active constituents (e.g. ceramides, carotenoids, phytosterols, squalenes, etc.) is consistent.
We check the peroxide values to ensure that none of the fatty acids present in the oil are oxidised, guaranteeing you carrier oils with intact properties and the most beneficial composition.
We carry out organoleptic tests according to the witness: smell, colour, appearance, to check the quality of the batches.
We check all traceability records: origin, certification, botanical name, processing method, etc.

Hydrosols
Produced by steam distillation, all our hydrosols are 100% pure, preservative-free, fresh and highly concentrated. They are microfiltered to 0.2 microns for optimum cleanliness and microbiologically certified. The vast majority of our hydrosols come from certified organic and ecologically grown plants. Our hydrosols are best kept refrigerated.
Quality analysis of our hydrosols
We carry out microbiological and pH tests on each batch.
