About Absolute Essential Plant Oils

A GOOD STORY Once upon a time... Absolute Essential was founded in 1988 by Natural Health Practitioner, Dr Bo Hendgen D.O. N.D. A.M. Bo started out with a pledge to source and protect the world’s finest natural plant extracts for maximum therapeutic value. Her vision to make a positive and permanent difference to people’s lives still drives our ethos today. We are now well known in Asia Pacific for our commitment to balancing efficacy with ethics. Meticulously formulated We source the finest raw ingredients and employ the most rigorous scientific methods to create our products. Each of our oils is distilled or extracted using a slower processing methodology, which produces a higher quality product with more of the precious, health-boosting phytohormones retained. Only 4% of the world’s essential oils are created for genuine medicinal purposes – that’s what we use. Utterly ethical We source certified organic or wild-grown ingredients from 59 countries worldwide and work directly with producers to support small-hold, eco-conscious farmers and businesses. We also process all raw materials at our own production facility here in Aotearoa, so we can guarantee sustainable manufacturing every step of the way. Our products are sold by professionals, not multi-level marketing schemes. No greenwash here folks From demolition concrete labels to reusing plant waste as extraction fuel, sustainable practices run deep through our entire business – and always have. Read their story
