I
remember those days when it was extra challenging to find sellers of essential
oils in the Philippines. These days, there are already several online sellers
of essential oils but most of them offer imported brands that I find very
expensive for such a small bottle.
Fortunately,
Zellaroma was established in late
2017 which aims to be a reputable source of high quality essentials oils locally,
making them more accessible to Filipinos without breaking the bank. Zellaroma guarantees that they only
source their essential oils from GMP-certified and FDA-registered distillers
from around the world. Being GMP-certified means that the essential oil
manufacturer strictly follows Good
Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards to assure safety, consistency and
quality of the final product. What makes Zellaroma
more trustworthy as a brand is that all of their essential oils undergo
extensive GC-MS analysis in order to test their purity. GC-MS stands for Gas
Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry and is widely considered as a gold
standard when it comes to chemical composition analysis of essential oils. The
GC-MS test report is one of the ways to identify if a certain essential oil is
adulterated (e.g. it’s been mixed with carrier oil or another essential oil). Zellaroma shares the GC-MS test results
of their essential oils on their Facebook page.
One
of the selling points of Zellaroma
is their fairly-priced essential oils. While most foreign brands of essential
oils retail at Php 1000+ for 10ml or 15ml bottle, Zellaroma’s price range for a 10ml bottle is around Php 300 – 599,
which is super affordable! The reason behind their products’ affordability is
because they buy essential oils in bulk and bottle them locally in FDA/GMP-certified
facility. This results to lower production and labor costs as compared to
essential oils that are bottled abroad.
Zellaroma’s
current product catalog includes 17 essential oils (in 10ml bottle):
- lavender
- frankincense
- lemon
- peppermint
- tea tree
- eucalyptus
- citronella
- cedarwood
- lemongrass
- geranium
- basil
- thyme
- ginger
- juniper
- cardamom
- turmeric
- black pepper
They
also sell 10ml essential oil roller blends (5% dilution in fractionated coconut
oil) at Php 175.
