BASE INGREDIENTS LISTING – THE ESSENTIAL OIL CO. LTD.

We are now offering a parabens free alternative to our base products range in most cases.  Many of our creams & lotions have been reformulated in 2007 to eliminate harsh chemicals such as SLS and parabens.  We still have some products that have been used for 15 years by our aromatherapists (such as our standard shampoo & aloe & seaweed eye gel) but we now offering the alternatives such as SLS free shampoo and rose eye gel.  We appreciate that some people are not bothered about SLS and parabens being in their products - that's why best selling creams, lotions & shampoos in the world on the market contain them!  Through better education and understanding of ingredients in many so-called "natural" cosmetics we hope that the market will demand and consume products that don't contain harsh chemicals that harm the body. 

We also now stock many organic skin care ranges such as EO, Desert Essence, Badger Balm, Balm Balm, Organic Surge & Pure Nuff Stuff, please have a good browse around our site if you are looking for complete & natural skincare & haircare solutions.

Parabens free range in NOW!  We have recently reformulated our cream light, vitamin e cream & moisturising lotion and our conditioner base has not had parabens in for 3 years.
