| The
plant world brings to the earth the abundance of life
that provides the basis of existence for all living
things. The plant lives through light and photosynthesis.
Its characteristic transformation of substances is an
expression of life, which cannot be copied exactly in
the laboratory.
Synthetics
are often said to be more durable, more economical
and more practical than their natural counterparts,
but we must remember that synthetics do not consider
life. They arise from chemical analysis and composition
intellectually put together in the laboratory, whereas
within the alchemy of nature transformation of substance
occurs, a direct link to own design and make up.
A
synthetic product may have properties and effects
similar to the natural product, but this is not sufficient
for an accurate qualitative assessment. The origin
of the substance as well as the process in which it
is developed or obtained is the crucial factor.
Organic
Formulations takes into consideration not only the
composition of its ingredients , it looks closely
at the growing conditions such as Organic & Biodynamic
farming methods and locations of growth such as native
plants and wildcrafted natural growth. When possible,
we grow most of our own herbs.
Our
extraction methods do not use chemical constituents,
liquid CO2 processing, solvent extractions, mineral
or animal oil enfleurage methods. We derive our herbal
oils by florentiner flask method and a method of steam
extraction. The herbs are then blended with organic
oils, extracted oils and infused herbal waters. Gum
plant material is added for stability and a natural
seed extract is added to prolong the life source.
We
are proud to say that our new Certified Organic Blending
Plant is now operational This processing plant situated
in the pristine Macedon Ranges of Victoria Australia,.
We are now planting many herbs and in the not to distant
future our organic farm will grow at least 15% of
all our herb and plant material.
