Today, essential oils have returned to homes and have become the health and well-being allies of many families.
SOS Aroma , is an expert brand in aromatherapy offering a preventive and curative range for daily and family use. Attached to the fundamentals of scientific aromatherapy, it focuses on the naturalness, authenticity, effectiveness and harmlessness of its products.
Naturalness: Because the quality of an essential oil is conditioned by the cultivation method of the plant, its harvesting conditions and the care taken in its extraction. This is also preserved by a natural setting: vegetable capsules and ecological packaging.
Authenticity: Because over the sometimes fanciful formulations, SOS Aroma prefers the “right” number of essential oils in the formulation. Because very often, simplicity rhymes with efficiency. The authenticity of the brand also goes through the guarantee of products 100% developed and manufactured in France.
Efficiency: Because through a targeted range of “ready-to-use” products that are easy to use, SOS Aroma meets the real needs of the whole family.
Safety: Because the products are subject to very strict controls and guarantee safety of use.
Today, aromatherapy has taken over the shelves of large-scale distribution, leaving the user perplexed in the face of the profusion of the offer. SOS Aroma wants to offer everyone the multiple benefits of essential oils in everyday life, in complete safety, thanks to ready-to-use products distributed in pharmacies.
By choosing to distribute its products through pharmacies, SOS Aroma replaces scientific aromatherapy where it fully belongs: the pharmacy.
Only the pharmacist is legitimate to speak clearly about scientific aromatherapy and provide sound advice.
The therapeutic properties of an essential oil are linked to its biochemical composition, which itself depends on numerous parameters.
First of all, it is the origins of the plant as well as its variety that will influence this biochemical composition. The environment in which it grows as well as its cultivation method are also determining. For example, an essential oil extracted from Rosemary in France will not have the same characteristics as those obtained from Rosemary in Morocco.
Then these are the conditions of the extraction: the stage of development of the plant (flowering, fruiting, wood, seeds, etc.) at which the extraction is carried out, the distilled organ (leaves, fruits, flowers, roots, etc.), and the quality of the extraction itself which play an important role in the biochemical composition of the essential oil.
It is therefore all these parameters, even before the formulation is implemented, that it is necessary to control.
The EOBBD Quality-Assurance results from the HEBBD criteria defined in the early 1980s. It sets specific requirements in terms of identification of essential oils. In 2000, it obtained ISO 9001 certification for its Quality Management System. It is because it perfectly reflects the quality requirement of SOS Aroma that the brand has complied with it.
The precise identification of the botanical species and the variety according to the international Binominal Nomenclature.
Indeed, only the full botanical name of the aromatic plant leads to the identification of the origin of the essential oil. The definition of the botanical species must therefore indicate the name of the genus and species as well as the variety.
THE EFFECTIVENESS OF AN ESSENTIAL OIL-BASED PRODUCT IS BASED ON ITS FORMULATION:
Once assured of the quality of its essential oils, SOS Aroma draws the relevance and effectiveness of its “ready-to-use” products from the accuracy of its formulations. They consist in associating essential oils having a targeted activity, in adapted concentration and able to act in synergy for a potentiated effectiveness, while limiting their number. This makes it possible to increase the harmlessness of the formulas, in particular by reducing the allergic risks.
Natural medicines result from the good use of natural chemistry. Essential oils have biochemical properties specific to each and the molecules that compose them enter into interactions, which is why the quality of the formulation is essential.
SOS Aroma's expertise in this area has enabled the development of a range of 17 products divided into 6 families: live well, sleep well, breathe well, relieve, protect and sanitize.
SOS AROMA “READY TO USE” PRODUCTS ARE SUBJECT TO MULTIPLE TESTS AND CHECKS:
These tests and controls reflect the quality requirements of SOS Aroma and guarantee the efficacy and harmlessness of the products. They relate as much to the composition of the products as to their conditions of use.
Regarding the composition of the products, the essential oils of the formulations are subjected to a chromatographic analysis (GC / MS / FID) with, for certain batches, research for pesticide residues.
As for the conditions of use, the products pass skin tolerance tests, the oral toxicity evaluation (LD 50), as well as efficacy tests.
Throughout their development, SOS Aroma products are also subject to pharmaceutical monitoring.
