ESSENTIAL oils

NEWS     ABOUT US      FAQ     DIRECTORY     EVENTS     CONTACT US

The fertile soils and Mediterranean climate of some parts of New Zealand make it ideal for the production of essential and medicinal oils of excellent quality. Native plant species are also rich in a diverse range of compounds including alkaloids, essential oils, tannins, steroids and fats.

New Zealand's geographical isolation, clean, fertile soils, and unique flora combine to make the country a treasure trove of plants for medicinal and commercial use. The benign growing conditions allow for the successful cultivation of a diverse range of botanicals. Native plant species are also rich in a wide range of medicinal compounds that may be beneficial in the future.

Demand for herbal extracts as medicines for humans and animals is expanding worldwide, and New Zealand is ideally placed to supply this market. Extract manufacturers in New Zealand are able to source a wide range of raw material and from this produce extracts of the highest quality. Supporting the industry is a range of institutions including government research bodies and universities. This synergy is working to bring the best quality extracts and innovative products to the world.
