Lynda Ballard founder of Kobashi.

"I started Kobashi in 1985 with the goal of supplying the best Essential Oils and Aromatherapy products at good prices. I am happy to say, that with the help of many people we have accomplished that goal. We originally set up to supply theHealth Food industry and now also supply hundreds of Clinics, Therapists, and Hospitals worldwide."

Essential Oils testing has been carried out by Iryna Labounskaia, Dr. Kevin Brigden and Scott Ballard.

Kobashi is a well established company that prides itself on the quality of its products.

All of our oils are from named botanical species, 100% natural, unadulterated, nothing added or taken away, of the highest quality and tested for their authenticity. We use the latest testing equipment: GC and GC-MS systems in conjunction with HP Chem-station and Wiley's 275,000 chemical spectrums library. Kobashi has an extensive library on essential oil data to cross reference-research the oils.

All fully qualified Aromatherapists are entered in our consultancy service data base.

Over 50% of our pure essential oils are Organically grown. Using natural farming methods, ie: no artificial pesticides or fertilisers, or grown in the wild. Even though tests on our citrus's show no pesticides distilled in the oil, we'd like dangerous pesticides eradicated. We have a stringent ordering policy.

Kobashi products are formulated in-house in order to maintain strict quality control. All our luxury blended lotions are made with Aloe Vera (aloe barbadensis miller), Borage oil ~25% G.L.A. and Natural Vitamin E (d-alpha-tocopherol), not the cheaper synthetic dl- vitamin E's. Our luxury shampoo includes Aloe Vera, naturally farmed Jojoba oil and Natural Vitamin E .

We have a three check system for measures and batching. Two hard copies and one in Sage Sterling Stock. Control.

Each 5, 10, 50 and 100 mls essential oil is supplied in an amber glass bottle fitted with a dropper allowing approx. 20 drops per ml.

Kobashi stock an extensive range of burner-vapourisers: Lamp (oil) Burner, Raku, Stoneware, Electric Aroma Stones, Light bulb rings, and Aroma Discs.

We do our best to make our packaging environmentally friendly. The boxes for the essential oils are made with recyclable card without the use of chlorine bleach. Our plastic bottles are made of more environmental HDPE or PET not PVC which releases carcinogenic phthalates in processing and dioxins when burned.

Kobashi is strictly against testing, campaigning to end animal experiments. None of the products or ingredients have been animal tested (our cut-off date is 1976). All Kobashi products are Animal Free and suitable for Vegans and Vegetrians.

We do our best to send your order out immediately.

KOBASHI is a member of the A.T.C. (Aromatherapy Trade Council).

We support groups or people interested in a better environment, such as Greenpeace.

Best regards,

Lynda & Scott Ballard & all at Kobashi
