High Quality Ingredients
The main criteria at thisworks are quality, purity and integrity. All our ingredients have to be of a therapeutic standard in order to ‘work’ so the sourcing of essential oils is vital. No compromises are made in the choice or cost of the highest calibre raw materials. The ingredients are sourced extensively from around the world to ensure topmost quality. We use the pick of the crop which has been harvested using the best means of extraction to limit contamination and to maintain purity. We also retain traceability to each farm we source from to guarantee that these stringent farming methods are adhered to at all times.

Did you know?
60% of what we put on our skin goes directly into our bloodstream - this means that the benefits of essential oils can be carried quickly and safely to all areas of the body.

Expertly Blended
Our formulators have over 40 years experience in blending essential oils and are regarded as the most skilled aromatherapists in the county. Because of this wealth of experience and knowledge our blenders know which oils work well together and at which percentage- this ensures the synergy needed for therapeutic effect.

thisworks products are produced:-
• using 100% pure essential oils
• free from parabens, mineral oils, synthetic colour & fragrance,
• free from petro-chemical or GM Ingredients, sodium lauryl or lauryl sulphate
• without tests on animals, or use animal by-products or hormones.

Did you know?
Our bath oils contain a 30% concentration of essential oils. This ‘spa like’ strength is far higher than other retail aromatherapy brands; it is the reason why they really do work- it gives the products therapeutic strength so that they can work on physical and emotional levels.

Organic?
90% of the essential oils we currently use are from plants which are organically grown although not necessarily with organic certification. We believe this is the best way to guarantee the highest quality ingredients at any one time. Organic harvests vary year on year and we constantly strive to perfect product quality. We are committed to producing products that really work and do what they say and organic is not necessarily the guarantee of quality and performance. We are committed to honesty and are not trying to jump on the organic bandwagon. We only launch products that we are able to produce to our exacting standards.

Did you know?
thisworks always try to source Fair Trade ingredients, for example we use fairly traded Marula oil in Active oil and fairly traded Mongogo oil in Super Moisture.

Storing and using the products
All our products use natural ingredients and we do not use parabens, therefore please use your opened product within 6 months. Unopened products have a shelf life of 2 years. Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight.
