New Remedy Rollers & Aroma Recipes from SOiL

SOiL is scent-sationally excited to announce the growth of our Fair Trade product offering with the launch of 12 NEW REMEDY ROLLERS in the aromatherapeutic on-the-go range. Reformulated, easy to carry and ready to roll, the 12 therapeutic blends can help support and combat the day’s emotions and events. In addition, 3 essential oils and 1 carrier oil are now also Fair Trade certified products.

Our Fair for Life Certification verifies SOiL’s sustainability standards in fair trade and responsible supply-chain trade ethics.

As pioneers of organic farming in South Africa, the SOiL Fair for Life certification embodies our dedicated focus on sustainable development through local economic growth, employment creation and the utilisation of local, renewable resources.

As a proudly South African producer of organic aromatherapies, at SOiL we ensure we grow and source locally first. Where plants thrive best in alternate locations, SOiL calls on its trusted certified organic and fair-trade network of producers throughout Africa and beyond to supply oil.

Our Fair for Life certified Jojoba oil 30ml (Simmondsia Chinensis) R80.00 is sourced from Israel where the seed of the Jojoba plant is cold pressed. Jojoba is a liquid wax rather than an oil with a molecular structure and pH that is very similar to the skin’s own natural sebum, which is why it is such a versatile skin oil. Soft and nourishing, it is easily absorbed into the skin and is suitable for all skin types whether dry, oily or sensitive. It can also be used on dry hair.

The inclusion of Fair Trade Certification of our Jojoba carrier oil means many of our products, blends and remedy rollers fall under the global Fair Trade guarantee which ensures human rights are safeguarded by fair working conditions and smallholder farmers receive a fair share ensuring these communities benefit from the trade we do with them, offering local and international markets a  natural, pure and organic means to wellness following sustainable eco-ethical practices under the Fair for Life banner

With the SOiL working farm situated on the rolling hills of Zululand in the KwaZulu-Natal Province, we support Fair for Life practices which encourage growers and harvesters to form cooperative groups to share collective benefits and bargaining power while improving skills and capacity, thereby safeguarding and supporting the local social fabric, particularly in rural settings, allowing all producers and workers who are at a socio-economic disadvantage to access a wider range of social and economic benefits.

Consumers of SOiL aromatherapy products can also rely on our genuine standards for natural and organic retail products and ingredients with our COSMOS Organic certification for our natural and organic products produced to the highest sustainability practices.
