Why Plant Therapy?
WHY PLANT THERAPY?
At Plant Therapy, safety and education are at the heart of everything we do. In addition to offering pure, high-quality essential oils, natural body care products, and CBD, we want to give you the tools and know-how so that you can safely use essential oils and understand the ingredients we use in our products. And because we value transparency and honesty, we publish test reports for our essential oils, carrier oils, and CBD as well as offer affordable prices for all our products. Plant Therapy is also dedicated to giving back to the community, both locally and globally so we can have a positive impact on as many people as possible.

USDA ORGANIC CERTIFICATION
​
Free from GMOs and harmful pesticides, all of our organic products are certified through ECOCERT ICO. Feel confident knowing that your organic purchase is helping to conserve our precious natural resources and reducing environmental pollution.
THIRD-PARTY TESTING
​
All of our essential oils go through rigorous independent third-party testing. These GC-MS test reports, which provide in-depth information on the chemical constituents in each oil, can be found on our website. They show you exactly what’s in the oils you buy.
GMP CERTIFICATION
​
Plant Therapy has been awarded the certificate of compliance by the Cosmetic Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) under ISO 22716. In other words, everything from our ingredients to the production process to packaging and labeling meets the highest standards.
LEAPING BUNNY
​
Our four-legged friends are part of the family! And so we have never and will never test any of our products on animals and use only cruelty-free ingredients. We are excited to have the Leaping Bunny Certification, one of the most difficult certifications a company can achieve.
SAFETY
​
It all starts here. In addition to providing dilution guidelines and any additional cautions for all our essential oils, we also provide safety information for using oils with children, pets, and pregnant or nursing mothers. Our KidSafe products include blends that are tailor-made for issues our little ones deal with. Plus look for the KidSafe logo on our essential oils to know if it’s safe to use around children.

EDUCATION

What fun are essential oils if you don’t know how to use them?! You can find everything from helpful charts to DIY recipes to in-depth explanations in our glossary on common topics like emulsifiers, preservatives, and blending essential oils. Visit the downloads page to find printable copies or head to our blog for more comprehensive information. Be sure to check out our videos for answers to your top questions about aromatherapy and essential oils as well as step-by-step walkthroughs of some of our most popular DIYs. We’ll also provide an up-close look at the ingredients used in all of our other products like skincare, body care, and household cleaners.
QUALITY INGREDIENTS
​
We offer only 100% pure, high-quality essential oils, carrier oils, and CBD… and we have the testing to back it up. Any ingredient we source must be flawless in the test report or we send it back. You can find the detailed GC/MS reports by reputable third-party testers on our product pages. These tests show you exactly what is in our essential oils and CBD products. You’ll find the same quality, natural ingredients in all of our products, whether it’s CBD, body care, or anything in between. We even provide the third-party testing reports for the efficacy of our household cleaners. And throughout it all, our certified aromatherapists are involved in every step of product development, from start to finish.
AFFORDABLE PRICING
​
Quality essential oils and natural products don’t have to break the bank! We offer fair and affordable prices on all of our products. When our costs go down, we pass the savings onto you. And because you don’t have to deal with middlemen, you get an affordable price no matter what.
GIVING BACK
​
Part of being a people-first company means that we give back to our local communities and around the world. Our strong desire to give back is why we've created Planting Kindness, a philanthropy program committed to making the world a better place.
Australia Wildfires
As bushfires ravaged most of Australia, doing irreparable damage to homes and ecosystems alike, we worked together with our customers to raise $17,000 for the Australian Red Cross Disaster Relief and Recovery Fund.
​
COVID-19 Relief
Healthcare workers are on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic. To show our appreciation for the work they do, Plant Therapy sent 300 Germ Destroyers 10 mLs, 100 Immune Aid Roll-Ons, and 100 Pineapple Lip balms to 4 different hospitals in California, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, and another 400 products to two hospitals in New York.

Africa Heartwood Project
In 2004, Plant Therapy joined forces with the Africa Heartwood Project in an effort to help rural communities in West Africa who were in desperate need of clean water. This project doesn’t stop at installing well in rural villages. It also trains the local communities to maintain and service their well so they have clean water for years to come.
