Earthoil Plantations (Stand No. R73), a grower and supplier of organically-certified essential and pressed seed oils, will be highlighting its extensive range of fair trade ingredients. Visitors to the Earthoil stand can learn more about the company’s specialist community grower projects, as well as its broad product portfolio for cosmetic and personal care applications.
As demand for products containing ethically-sourced ingredients soars, formulators are looking for traceable raw materials to help them get their share in the crowded marketplace. The company manages all aspects of these community projects—from the employment of field officers to ensuring farmers are educated about organic fertiliser methods. This ethical approach coupled with its unique technological expertise enable Earthoil to respond to the changing demands in product development.
Key Earthoil projects include an initiative in South Africa to provide farmers with access to land, farming expertise and equipment to grow a number of organic essential oil crops – rose geranium, for example. The company has also established a mint oil program in India’s Uttar Pradesh region, working with an organic grower group of over 600 small-scale mint farmers to produce organically certified peppermint, spearmint and corn mint oils. This specific project was awarded IMO Fair for Life status, recognizing Earthoil’s commitment to ethical and sustainable farming plus benefits to the local community, suppliers and customers. A third program in Kenya involves over 200 farmers growing a variety of vegetable seed and essential oil crops.
Organic citrus oils from Earthoil will also be fon display. These reduced furanocoumarin citrus oils are said to deliver enhanced flexibility in the formulation of fragrance and cosmetics products. With lemon, lime, grapefruit and bergamot varieties available, the oils impart a distinct citrus aroma, while containing low levels of furanocoumarins.
