We like to inform our customers in a simple way about our raw materials and have chosen to do this through using the following simple coding system.

A large selection of products that Aromantic stock is based on entirely natural ingredients. However, as soon as we begin to consider the different raw materials for cosmetics, e.g. natural raw materials that have been treated or extracted with substances not found in the original product, it becomes more difficult to define these as 'natural'. So, some of our products, while having a natural origin, will fall into this latter category. Because we like to keep things clear and simple for our customers, we have devised the following coding and classification system:

A = Raw materials of Animal Origin produced with the help of animals but not connected with the taking of animal life e.g. Beeswax.

N = All Natural Raw Materials, extracted through the use of natural methods such as distillation, pressing, drying, yeasting, cooling, oil extraction and CO2 extraction. Examples of these would be Essential Oils, Cold pressed Vegetable Oils, etc.

NK = Natural Raw Materials Extracted with the help of chemicals such as solvents which are not found in the natural raw material, e.g. Frangipani and Linden Blossom Absolutes.

NB = Natural Raw Materials Treated in order to access other properties of the raw material e.g. the conversion of Palm Oil into MF Emulsifier.

NS = Natural Raw Materials Treated & Combined with chemicals/synthetic raw materials, e.g. the conversion of Coconut Butter to an active washing ingredient such as the Detergent Alpha or conversion of Guar Flour to cosmetic Guar Gum Powder.

S = Synthetic Raw Materials, factory produced. Original raw materials may be natural or by-products of the petroleum industry, e.g. Carbamide.

NI = Simulated Natural Raw Materials replicate natural raw materials but are synthetically produced, e.g. Simulated Natural
