Zellaroma: A Proudly Filipino Essential Oil Brand

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.

You can also buy their products at select branches of ECHOStore.
