Criteria

Registration is available to companies who sell products and advocate the safe use of aromatherapy and sourcing of essential oils in a socially and environmentally responsible manner.

The information printed on product labels must also meet the IFA ‘correct labelling’ requirements. 

Terms and Conditions: All corporate members must comply with the Terms and Use of Logo and may not place the IFA corporate member logo on any products. 

Please note, those applying must have an operational website for verifying and monitoring purposes of how products are being marketed. 

Registration Procedure

Before we can register you, we will need you to provide a link to your website and provide 5 samples of your product from across your range. These must be sent to our Head Office: IFA, 146 South Ealing Road, Ealing, London, W5 4QJ. Please remember to include a leaflet or business card so we can clearly identify you. If the company owner is also IFA qualified, you are exempt from supplying samples, as these would have been sampled as part of your qualifying assessment.

What are we checking for? It is a condition of membership that the company provide sufficient information on their website and promotional literature about their products to allow customers to make informed decisions and also provide instruction on how to apply the product safely. As essential oils vary from crop to crop, they cannot be licensed; therefore, the company’s website must not make any medicinal claims regarding an aromatherapy product and provide guidance regarding dilution, where necessary. See the IFA’s correct labelling guidance as per the IFA's Purchasing Fixed Oils & Essential Oils for Therapeutic Uses Guidelines. Other factors taken into consideration are viscosity, freshness and quality of the products.

Once products are sampled, you will be provided with the link to the registration form
