Are Demeter Products “Natural”?

We subscribe to a philosophy that says our products should be as natural and as sustainable as possible.  That means:

• No secondary packaging that you rip apart and then throw out
• No artificial colors
• No binders
• No emulsifiers

Regarding essential oils, the percentage varies by scent between natural and artificial ingredients, with a bias towards using the highest degree of natural ingredients possible.  For certain things, however, like Vinyl, for example, no natural ingredients are even available.  Our experience is that the binders, emulsifiers, and colorants seem to lead to far more negative reactions than the oils themselves.  We believe this is for two reasons (but please, this is our unsubstantiated opinion, not proven scientific fact):

• The “palette” of materials we use to make a fragrance is very much tried and tested.  Most of those that are prone to create allergic or negative reactions have already been screened out, or exist in such small amounts, they are not highly reactive
• With over 200 different scent formulations, we very rarely hear of negative reactions.  The common factor among all our different scents is in what they lack – the colorants, emulsifiers, and binders.  Consequently, we draw the conclusion that those are the culprits.

None, of which, unfortunately, guarantees you, as an individual, will not have a reaction to a particular scent.
