We do not purchase an oil just because it's organically grown, as this is not a 100% guarantee of quality. We favour organically grown, but purchase the best we can find.

With over 25 years of experience on the subject of sourcing oils, the priority, whether conventional or organically grown, must be thoroughly testing the end product.

We guarantee all Kobashi products are of the finest quality. We have tamper sealed our essential oils, so anyone can bring them to a laboratory sealed and prove that we are selling true, real, pure oils as from nature (not synthetic or nature identical.).

We are against the use of harmful herbicides, pesticides and fungicides and will continue to oppose their use.

 

Kobashi organic Lavender grown in Devon. (Notice the weeds in this picture and the picture with the Lavender and hills at the top.) Organically grown will always have some weeds, unless you cultivate continuously; keeping them out of the distillation will provide a better oil.

We created some of the best organic Lavender that we have ever experienced. The problem was that we couldn't create enough for the demand. The solution is that we have purchased an organic farm to grow more.

Both the Lavenders we presently have in stock are excellent and we wouldn't have them if they weren't.

Kobashi's' favoured method of growing is organic permaculture. Not always practical on a commercial level, as this is one of the hardest possible ways to grow due to weeds.. We grow Calendula, St John's Wort, Rosemary and Lavender near each other bordered by natural grasses and a multitude of hedgerow plants. We added test crops in 2011 of Arnica, Catnip, Echinacea, Marjoram, Oregano and Thyme. We will add to this list year on year.

 

 

We care about the environment and the products we offer to you.

Since we purchase our products from farmers like us, to the best of our knowledge our products are fairly traded.

 

Best regards,

Lynda and Scott Ballard

PS: We are against the use of harmful herbicides, pesticides and fungicides and will continue to oppose their use. Due to finding them on the north and south poles no on can guarantee 100%, even in organically grown, that they are not present at parts per trillion. Hopefully at this level our immune system will be able to adapt.

Pesticides will evaporate into the air and unfortunately there is a probability we are breathing them now. For many truth sometimes is hard to write and take in, due to our aversion to conflict. We think every opportunity must be taken to make things better. If we could heal the world we would; everyone must heal their world on all levels of spirit, mind, emotions, body and environment, if we are not already doing so. :-)

At what level are pesticides in the air we are breathing?
