Since the founding of our company in 1996 we have been part of a project that helps fund the Pwo Karen hill tribe of Northern Thailand and Burma. The project runs a health clinic for the hill tribe children and assists villagers to transition from "slash and burn" agricultural practices to growing permanent, sustainable farms. We purchase all of our fabric packaging and basketry through this project, having a direct financial benefit to the tribe.

We carefully make all of our own products by hand in our own Southern California facility. Most of our bottled products are packaged in recyclable amber glass, protecting the essential oils from ambient light and preserving their therapeutic integrity. When we do use plastic bottles or tubes, we use recyclable environmentally friendly PET.
