Ethical Practices
Absolute Essential is a certified-organic, certified-vegan manufacturer operating from its sole facility in Muriwai Beach, Aotearoa, New Zealand. The brand sources certified-organic or wild-grown botanicals from specialist growers and cooperatives, applying rigorous supplier due diligence, including screening, in-house and external testing and batch traceability. Written commitments to ethical practices are required from suppliers. All New Zealand employees are paid at least the living wage, with a tight pay ratio and flexible working arrangements. The brand monitors for child or forced labour in higher-risk regions and maintains a formal complaints process.
Sustainable Practices
Absolute Essential reduces upstream impact by requiring distillation or extraction at source, supporting the use of bi-products such as floral waters and using leftover plant material as fuel. Packaging initiatives include glass containers, tree-free mineral paper labels made from milled quarry waste, reduced packaging components, renewable and recyclable materials and a tape-free shipping system. At its New Zealand site, all water is captured rainwater and wastewater is managed onsite. The brand also uses an electric vehicle for local travel, offsets air travel and enables carbon offsets for customer orders.
Social Impact
Absolute Essential has worked with Nepalese communities since 2012 to establish the wintergreen industry, creating income pathways for women and elders, supporting sustainable harvesting education, providing seedlings and supplying portable distillation equipment now owned by producers. Following Nepal’s 2015 earthquakes, the brand fundraised, delivered supplies, helped rebuild production facilities and supported recovery through Nepali Lokta paper box production. It also supports producers with equipment, training and education on value-add bi-products and promotes employee wellbeing through a healthy working environment and flexible work/leave. The brand has also received multiple national awards for social responsibility.
Product Reviews by Experts
Wow – I sat with these oils for a solid few weeks, sampling and deeply dropping into feeling the impact of each blend on my physical, emotional and mental body. I am surprised and moved to share I felt a direct correlation with almost all the blends with their intended Chakra connection and the feelings they intend to evoke. What a special set of essential oils. I absolutely love this story, and the commitment and long labour of love that has gone into this process. The product development could have stopped 6 months in, but the commitment to fulfilling the intention of this creation with the utmost integrity meant lots of continued refinement and real world testing. The brand’s ethical, sustainable and social responsibility efforts are admirable in every aspect of the business however, what stands out to me is that rather focusing on charitable giving only, they are seeking to create lasting economic opportunities through employment, skill development and local enterprise. The Nepal WinterGreen Project is particularly impressive because it goes beyond simply purchasing ingredients, but instead strengthening vulnerable communities through long term partnerships, training and shared resources.
I really appreciate the years of research and intention that have gone into this beautiful set of oils, formulated by an expert in naturopathy and aromatic medicine in partnership with a specialist in the ancient chakra healing system. I adore the ritual of applying each oil to its corresponding chakra in a clockwise motion, and this simple daily practice has helped me through a particularly bumpy week. I also love the beautiful presentation box and the inspiring story behind the brand’s work with communities around the world. I am so impressed by the depth of this brand’s social impact. Their long-term work supporting communities in Nepal goes far beyond ethical sourcing, creating local employment, sharing knowledge and helping communities rebuild after the earthquakes. Combined with thoughtful environmental initiatives and strong ethical practices – this is a business striving for real impact.
I loved the Absolute Essentials Chakra Set for its commitment to certified organic ingredients and the care that has gone into every detail. The compact glass bottles are sturdy enough to take anywhere, and I appreciated how easy they are to use, with the purpose, directions and ingredients conveniently listed on each bottle. Using these beautifully scented blends became a simple daily ritual that helped me feel more grounded and connected! The handmade Lokta paper box adds a lovely, earthy feel to the set and reflects the care and craftsmanship behind it. I admire the brand’s focus on empowering communities through training, education and access to resources – helping create sustainable opportunities and long-term self-sufficiency.
