We find that the word “organic” is sometimes used loosely,  The term organic simply refers  to the way plants are grown, handled and processed. These practices are often meant to protect the environment. For example, organic produce are grown without the use of most conventional pesticides, fertilizers that are not naturally made and genetically modified organisms just to mention a few.

Although all of our products are of premium quality, not all of them are certified organic. Where they are organic, they are clearly labelled as that.

All of our oils are 100% pure and natural and we also have an organic category of essential oils and carrier oils. Kindly check our organic category tab to see these oils.

Organic products are clearly labelled as organic. They are produced by organic producers under strict supervision by internationally recognized certifying bodies and are accompanied by authentic certificate of organic production.

At Skin Foodie, we love nature!

We love natural skincare and haircare and totally embrace the power of nature. Natural ingredients have therapeutic qualities that cannot be matched by synthetic products.

We have established direct buying relationships with ethical producers and suppliers around the world and this ensures the sanctity of the quality of our products. This is further complemented by our storage, processing and handling of products before shipment to our esteemed customers. Skin Foodie continues to improve in this area and is committed to selling only the best quality natural products at competitive prices.

At Skin Foodie, when we say our products are 100% pure, we mean our products are unadulterated and undiluted. We DO NOT dilute our products with any form of fillers to increase the quantity in order to increase our margins. What you see with us is exactly what you get. No cheap fillers, nothing other than what you have purchased.

We have put in a lot of detail  into our product descriptions to inform our customers and help them make their buying decision. Kindly read product description to better understand the products you are about to purchase.

At skin foodie, our goal is to offer mainly natural products where possible, this is not possible with all products as certain products will undergo some level of chemical processing. Preservatives, surfactants, emulsifiers, solubilisers and other functional ingredients will undergo some degree of chemical processing before they can be used to create products that are safe. Where products cannot be natural and have to undergo some level of processing, we are commited to offering only safe, wholesome, and efficacious ingredients to our esteemed customers.

Our Organic products are clearly labelled as organic. They are produced by organic producers under strict supervision by internationally recognized certifying bodies and are accompanied by authentic certificate of organic production.

Many companies do not have direct buying relationships with top suppliers around the world and this is because they simply do not have the necessary volume to negotiate with these suppliers.

Similarly, they lack the warehousing and logistics infrastructure necessary. This results in them having to pay a steep price for small quantities and in the end charge very high prices when selling these products.

At Skin Foodie, we are blessed to have the buying power to negotiate great prices with suppliers from all around the world. Our buyers negotiate volume purchases during the harvest season and simple economics allows us to pass on the savings to you.

Skin Foodie is committed to continue to offer great prices as we get even better volume discounts with our suppliers and as we continue to grow globally.

Essential Oils are the highly concentrated, volatile, aromatic essences of plants.

They are very potent concentrated plant chemicals and overexposure can cause irritation to the skin and long term sensitization. They should be blended in a carrier oils before application to the skin.

The purest essential oils come from carefully cultivated and wild grown plants from different geographic regions throughout the world.

Carrier oils are also referred to as vegetable oils and base oils. They have extensive applications in Aromatherapy because they are used to dilute Essential Oils or absolutes for application.

They are also used in the manufacturing of cold-process soaps and for massage. Each Carrier Oil has different properties and the choice of carrier oil can depend on the therapeutic benefit being sought.

At Skin Foodie, we strive to list all our products with genuine information as to what they are made of.  Fragrance oils often slip through this crack on a lot of websites because regulating agencies  allows them to be legally listed in the ingredient section simply as “fragrance oil” even though they may contain many different ingredients.

The term fragrance oil in most cases means “made of synthetic ingredients.”  some manufactures will not disclose their ingredients, by law they aren’t required to.  Others however, may provide information on the phthalates content.  All our fragrance oils that are phthalates free, are LISTED AS SUCH.

Scents are generally the last ingredient listed on a labels.  That means its the least added by volume.  So the amount of fragrance oil that is actually in a product is extremely small.

If you are against using synthetic fragrances in your formulations – Please visit our essential oils category or explore of new range of natural fragrance oils, which are made from the leaves, twigs, flowers and roots from plants.

However, if you are looking to add a scent to your formulation that is not achievable from essential oils, then please explore our fragrance oil category and kindly read the description we have provided to help you get the most out of them.

Some natural -ish sounding names like ‘apple, pear, mango etc are not natural.  It’s  difficult to extract those scents into an essential oil base, hence why fragrance oils exist and are found in formulations all over the world.

Carbon dioxide (C02) extracts are pure plant extracts produced when C02 is used instead of steam distillation or chemical solvents—such as hexane, heptane or ethanol—to obtain the purest and finest constituents of the plant. CO2 extracts typically contain more constituents found in the plant than just the essential oil portion. In this way they more closely resemble the original plants chemical make up, and could be considered to contain a fuller spectrum of constituents from the plant than essential oils do. CO2 Extracts are more stable and possess a longer shelf life than their essential oil, absolute and vegetable oil counterparts.

There are so many ways essential oils can be used:

The common methods are

Massages: Massage is one of the most beneficial methods of using essential oils because it combines the therapeutic powers of the essential oil with the benefits of touch therapy.

Inhalation: Inhalation is one of the quickest ways to experience the therapeutic benefits of essential oils. This method is highly beneficial for helping respiratory ailments. Persons with asthma or epilepsy should avoid inhaling essential oil.

Baths: Adding essential oils to a hot, soothing bath can create a relaxing and therapeutic experience.

Essential Oil Diffuser: Diffusers and aromatherapy go hand-in-hand. Adding essential oils to a diffuser effectively introduces the therapeutic properties and fragrance to any environment.

Compress: Compresses are an effective way to apply essential oils directly to areas where they are needed the most.

Our Oils are pure, and in many cases, food grade, however our products are all for cosmetic formulations and we encourage our customers to treat as such.

we DO NOT recommend the ingestion of essential oils.

They are highly concentrated and have the capacity to cause serious damage if used internally without the necessary expertise required in administering it. This is supported by the International Federation of aromatherapists that does not recommend ingestion of essential oils unless under the supervision of a Medical Doctor who is also qualified in clinical aromatherapy as practiced in France.

A single oil can have different varieties based on its different plant variety, region and several other factor.

A good example is Lavender Essential Oil, Over 35 varieties grow around the world. In such cases, we try to carry a high grade, a medium grade and a low grade to suit the various requirements of our customers.

Low grades are usually used in blends and in natural cosmetics, while the more therapeutic grades are preferred by licensed massage therapists and aromatherapists.

Essential oils are very potent concentrated plant chemicals and overexposure can cause irritation to the skin and long term sensitization. They should be blended in a carrier oils before application to the skin.

Some citrus essential oils are considered to be phototoxic. This means that when applied to the skin before exposure to sunlight, they can increase skin pigmentation.

Phototoxic essential oils  should be avoided before prolonged sunlight exposure and should be avoided while taking phototoxic medications, as any direct sunlight on the skin could trigger the possibility of a medical emergency.

Certain essentials oils are considered too powerful for use during pregnancy as they may stimulate the production of certain hormones, and can encourage bleeding. Please consult your physician or a reputable aromatherapist before using any essential oil.

Essential oils essences are produced directly from plants or plant parts and are all natural, whereas, fragrance oils are mostly manufactured in a lab from aromatic compounds.

It is recommended that oils should be stored in a  dark place and out of direct sunlight.

Our 500-ml sizes may be transported in metal canisters to prevent breaking and spilling. When received it should be decanted into dark glass bottles and stored in a dark place.
