Wildcrafted: Many of Amrita's essential oils are distilled from plants that grow in their natural habitat or ecosystem, far away from any pesticides or artificial fertilizers. This is often the healthiest, most natural growing condition for a particular plant species and often yields the finest essential oil.

Organic: Every plant we list here as organic has been grown, harvested, distilled and handled according to the USDA/NOP standards. Certification is available upon request.

Ecologically Ethical: These oils come from farms that use no pesticides or artificial fertilizers. The oils meet an organic standard but are not certified organic. This situation often occurs in developing countries where no organic certification is available.

Conventionally Farmed: A number of Amrita's oils are selected from conventional farms after careful screening. Although the plants themselves may have been treated with pesticides, we guarantee the essential oil is pesticide-free.
