PRICE INCREASES ON RAW MATERIALS
PRICE INCREASES ON RAW MATERIALS
Due to global events and fluctuations in the economy, we have been forced to raise our prices on certain raw materials....
As many of you may be aware, these last few weeks have seen protest and rioting in many developing countries as millions are affected by rising food prices. Increased energy and fuel prices, competition amongst biofuel producers and crop failures with the resulting food shortages have resulted in the marked increase of special vegetable oils. Because of the competition from the biofuel sector, oils like sunflower and thistle oil used for food have seen stock market increases of 30-40%.
India and China are ‘vacuuming’ the world, not only for metals but also for vegetable oils and are buying up entire export crops from whole countries. Some vegetable oils may be difficult to get because of this. Aromantic seems to have the only 200 litre drum of Jojoba Oil in the UK and the next harvest is next July/August so we have restricted sales to 5 litres per customer. We still have Sunflower Oil and Organic Thistle (Safflower) Oil but with 10% price increases. As most of the products we sell come from the Euro zone and the pound has decreased its strength by 13% against the euro and the Swedish krona, we need to increase or prices, most often by 10%.
However, because the market is so volatile we suggest you check our website for the most up to date prices. We will have a PDF document with the most up to date prices for downloading from our website as well, in case you prefer to see the prices all in one place. For new customers who request a printed 2007/8 catalogue, we are only sending out our 2007/8 catalogue for the product information and descriptions they contain but we will also send out a printed version of the latest prices along with the catalogue.
Due to the continuing droughts around the world, citrus essential oils will increase in price in the near future. There also only very small supplies left of Roman Chamomile (doubling the market price), Hyssop (price doubled), Bergamot, Palmarosa, Patchouli and Ylang Ylang. As the supplies become even shorter, these prices will increase. Tea Tree Oil has almost doubled in price due the fact that so many farmers have stopped farming it. As you can see our essential oil prices are unpredictable and some will go up in price due to the global factors mentioned and some, we’re not sure which at this point, may go down in price in the following months due to Aromantic having expanded such that we can take advantage of a better discount tier with our supplier. The price of vegetable-based Glycerine will increase much more than 10% in the near future. We’ve had more or less the same price for 10 years but now it has increased radically in the last few months.
In many ways we are more blessed than the poor people in Bangladesh are and other developing countries where already poor people have to cope with the doubling and even quadrupling of their most stable food, rice.
In Your Service,

Kolbjørn Borseth, founder and owner of Aromantic Ltd

as Tea Tree

such as being used undiluted to cleanse cuts, scrapes and wounds and as
an excellent Facial Toner to alleviate acne.
