Absolute Essential was founded in 1988 by Natural Health Practitioner, Dr Bo Hendgen. Bo started out with a pledge to source and protect the world’s finest natural plant extracts for maximum therapeutic value. Her vision to make a positive and permanent difference to people’s lives still drives our ethos today. We are now well known for our commitment to balancing efficacy with ethics.
Meticulously formulated, we source the finest certified organic from 32 countries globally and employ the most rigorous scientific methods to create our products. Each of our oils is extracted using a slower processing methodology, which produces a higher quality product with more of the precious, health-boosting phytohormones retained. Only 4% of the world’s essential oils are created for medicinal purposes - that’s what we use.
Utterly ethical - We support small-hold, eco-conscious farmers. We manufacture at our own facility here in Aotearoa, so we can guarantee sustainable practices in every step.
