Companies must provide sufficient information on their website and promotional literature about their products to allow customers to make informed decisions. Provide instruction on how to apply the product safely and provide guidance regarding dilution, where necessary. 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.
The information printed on product labels/accompanying leaflets must meet the IFA Labelling Requirements.
We will also check the companies ethos statement and commitment to the sustainable sourcing of essential oils and in a socially and environmentally responsible manner.
Provide 5 products from across your range i.e. 1 essential oil, 1 face cream, 1 massage blend, 1 balm, 1 face oil. These must be sent to our Head Office: IFA, 146 South Ealing Road, Ealing, London, W5 4QJ accompanied by a leaflet or business card so we can clearly identify you.
Companies must provide the above before registering, so we can sample viscosity, freshness and quality of the products as well as presentation.
