100% Certified Organic Therapeutic Essential Oils from Organic Farm to Home “Farmacy”

Amidst the wide range of essentials oils brands in the marketplace today including multi-level companies, Veriditas Botanticals stands above rest. Melissa Farris, owner, international educator and formulator, leads this small Minnesota based company that works exclusively with independent retailers, such as Sunflower Shoppe.

Here’s are 2 reasons we love Veriditas:

1) Veriditas is serious about organic.
If organic land management and artisanal quality are important to you, Veriditas is a solid choice. If the essential oil is not organic, it does not have the same potency as other conventional brands. Why? Plants with pesticides and herbicides do not produce the same robust essential oils. When an essential oil is labeled “organic,” this certification ensures that the plants were farmed, harvested, distilled and distributed according to organic methods. All essential oils at Veriditas Botanicals are National Organic Program certified (NOP) and Certified Organic through the French certification agency (ECOCERT). Following organic farming methods ensures that oils are free of pesticides, synthetics and adulterants. Furthermore, it supports organic farming, helping to keep our organic farmers in business. Melissa sums up this idea by stating “If customers select quality, we can see a beautiful change in the future.”

2) Veriditas has GRAS designation
Several Veriditas oils hold Generally Regarded As Safe (GRAS) designation by the Food and Drug Administration which means the oil is safe to ingest. This makes Veriditas a great option for those who like to cook with essential oils, by adding oils to tea, cooking oils and the like. Along with adding these oils to your bath, mixing with a carrier oil for a homemade lotion, you can safely use some of these oils internally, as well.

Stop in the Shoppe and see for yourself why we are big fans of this product line, available in our extensive Essential Oils & Aromatherapy section.
